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. Emergency room

    Made Sep 13, 2022, sent to the company Sep 15, 2022, published by CPSC Sep 29, 2022

    The product, in the report: Shoe Gear Flexible Shoe Horn 14” extended handle UPC 070049794178. The tag has W34524SI02 stamped on it.

    I was using the Shoe Gear Flexible Shoe Horn to put my left heel into my shoe. I was struggling to get the shoe heel to stand up correctly and apparently pulled HARD on the shoe horn. The shoe horn came apart from the spring area and cut my left index finger which ultimately required 3 stitches.
