  1. First aid

    Made Sep 24, 2024, sent to the company Sep 27, 2024, published by CPSC Oct 11, 2024

    The product, in the report: Craftsman CMEBL710 blower , Color: Red, L40” x W 6” x H6”, High-speed rotating electric appliance that blows leaves or trash with electricity to clean them up.

    I fell and suffered severe bruises because the air intake of the Craftsman brand electric blower, one of the brands of Stanley Tool Company, does not have a safety net, and part of my clothes were sucked into the space in an instant. I formally asked the manufacturer to design a safety net on the air intake of the product for the safety of consumers and to compensate me for the damage, but they replied that the wide opening is very dangerous to the user, and that the air rotation speed of the product cannot be affected for the safety of the user, and that it is difficult to compensate except for product replacement.
