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. First aid

    Made Jan 16, 2016, sent to the company Jan 28, 2016, published by CPSC Feb 12, 2016

    The product, in the report: Pruning shears

    Using a brand new pair of pruning shears purchased from Ace Hardware, I was trimming a tree on property I own and while cutting a stubborn small limb I exerted enough force to shear the limb and when it did, the tool rapidly closed in my hand. The problem is that the latch and catch that keep the shear safely closed are located in the area that the thumb rests and when the tool is in use the device acts as a stop and will give your thumb a very severe and painful high leverage pinch. This is a terrible design. Jan 14
