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. Hurt, no treatment

    Made May 11, 2017, sent to the company May 19, 2017, published by CPSC Jun 5, 2017

    The product, in the report: Hitachi Magic Wand personal massager

    I turned the massager on and it sparked and erupted in flames. The fireball singed my stomach, left side of my chest and face before I smothered it. The cord was completely burned through where it attaches to the massager.
