The product, in the report: The product is a consumer item purchased through Amazon as a new product. It was delivered in standard packaging but later realizing it appeared to be previously handled or returned inventory. Upon inspection and handling, the item was found to have visible dried blood contamination on its surface. A note included with the product referenced the presence of blood, indicating that the condition may have been known prior to shipment. The product did not include any biohazard warnings, protective packaging, or sanitation measures despite the presence of biological material. The item was handled under normal use conditions before the contamination was fully identified. This raises serious concerns regarding product handling, sanitation, and safety protocols for items being resold through consumer marketplaces. The shoe labels identify the product as: - Clarks “Whiddon Step” - Black Leather - US Size 12M - UK 11G - Product/label numbers visible in the attached photographs include: - 5050410591808 - 261529167110
I received a consumer product that arrived contaminated with what appeared to be dried human blood on the item. The product was handled during normal use before the contamination was discovered, creating a potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
The product was being used as intended at the time. Upon noticing the contamination, I immediately discontinued use and sought medical evaluation due to the risk of exposure to infectious diseases. This resulted in multiple medical consultations, blood testing, and follow-up care to assess potential health risks.
The contamination was not disclosed at the time of purchase, and there were no warnings indicating any potential biohazard risk. The presence of biological material on a consumer product represents a serious safety concern and a failure in quality control and handling procedures.
This incident created both physical health concerns and significant emotional distress due to the uncertainty of potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
UPDATES ON 5/19/2026: [To clarify the discrepancy referenced in your letter, the product ordered through the Amazon transaction was listed as [REDACTED] dress shoes. However, the shoes actually received were a different brand entirely, specifically Clarks shoes, which is why the attached photographs appeared inconsistent with the product description originally reported.
Per your request, I am providing additional identifying information from the shoes received.
The shoe labels identify the product as: - Clarks “Whiddon Step” - Black Leather - US Size 12M - UK 11G - Product/label numbers visible in the attached photographs include: - 5050410591808 - 261529167110
The attached photographs also document: - Clarks branding embossed on the shoe exterior and insole, - interior sizing and manufacturing labels, - the [REDACTED] branded box the shoes arrived in, - a handwritten note found with the shoes, - and apparent modification/cutting to the heel area of one shoe.
The handwritten note states: “You can see the blood and plasma stain on this shoe. I had to cut the shoe to save my heel while on a work trip.”
These circumstances contributed to my concern that the item may have been previously used, returned, repackaged, and resold despite apparent contamination concerns and visible alteration to the product.]
