The product, in the report: Ortho mouse trap Home Defense Max Press ‘N Set Mouse Trap Secure Catch Design I-Touch Set #12081 C
I baited and set traps and placed them in my utility room where I had seen evidence of mice. I left the utility room and before long (from several minutes to an hour) heard a strange noise. Upon investigating I discovered that the traps had come apart and pieces of the traps were scattered around the area where traps had been left. If I had still been holding the trap in my hand and leaning over to put trap on floor I could have sustained an eye injury.
