As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Emergency room

    Made Jul 13, 2017, sent to the company Jul 21, 2017, published by CPSC Aug 4, 2017

    The product, in the report: Small metal bucket with small black chalkboard oval on front. Bucket has a small handle. Bucket is approx 6” tall.

    The lip (edge around the top) cut my finger rather severely resulting in a trip to the urgent/emergency care. The pad of my ring finger was sliced and fell off - doctors were unable to sew/glue and had to use bonding “fake skin” to heal. Finger was in a cast for a week and may have little/no feeling for several weeks or months.
