Hurt, no treatment Made Jun 8, 2015, sent to the company Jun 25, 2015, published by CPSC Jul 10, 2015
The product, in the report: Power Lever Tree Pruner, 14 ft. model# is 9300
The consumer stated that on 6/4/15 he sent a letter to the retailer (Attn: [REDACTED]) regarding the safety hazard with his Power Lever Tree Pruner.
The consumer stated that the product malfunctioned while he was using it to cut a tree branch. The consumer stated that the pruner came apart at the connector that joins the two poles. It came apart at the lower end of the connector that is factory made tight. The cutting pole end that contains the saw blade came down with great force onto his left arm (bicep area) causing severe pain and bruising. The back of the saw teeth hit his arm. The consumer stated that if the cutting edge of the blade would have hit him, then he could have suffered a deep cut.
The consumer added to please be advised that on 6/11/15, he went to the doctor complaining of pain and bruising and a large knot at the location where the blade end of the 14 feet power lever tree pruner hit his left arm in the bicep area. The consumer noted the diagnosis was contusion and hematoma at said area...he then went for an ultrasound on the same day to look for blood clots.
The consumer also noted after reviewing the report he noticed two items that should be corrected: 1) It is an injury to his left arm in the bicep area, and 2) His last name is spelled Capria, not Catria.
The consumer also added he was notified o 6/10/15 by the insurance carrier of Home Depot that he would start an investigation...The rep, [REDACTED], asked him several questions and he sent the rep several pictures that are on his cell phone. The consumer noted he enclosed the report and letter he sent Home Depot on 6/04/15. The consumer stated he will try to send his cell phone pictures to the website: clearinghouse@CPSC.gov.

Hurt, no treatment Made Aug 4, 2011, published by CPSC Aug 25, 2011
The product, in the report: Fiskars 31” Power Gear Bypass Lopper with Titanium coating.
Message=Would like to report an unsafe product. The product is the Fiskars 31” Power Gear Bypass Lopper with the 3X gear. this product is manufactured in china for Fiskars. The handles are cheaply made plastic inserts that pull out of the handles when using the product to cut branches. I pulled my back muscles severly when trying to apply pressuring when cutting a branch and the handle top came out! Clearly it looks like they used some dribbles of a glue or epoxy to try and keep the handles in. Bad design and dangerous. I have an older smaller Fiskar product, made in USA, that has rubber sleeves that slide over the metal part of the handles kinda like bicycle handles do. Have yet to have any issues with that model. This new bigger model is unsafe and injuries can be very severe as they are larger and made to cut larger branches. This can really be dangerous when someone is on a ladder or just cutting branches above their heads, the handles come out an the rest of the steel unit lands on your head and face. And the unexpected handle removal can cause you to fall and do great harm to yourself.
