The product, in the report: It is a Gillette fusion 5 disposable razor that also has a second lead on the backside we just don’t see his kind of mold it in with plastic around it and it caught my lip and cut me. Model Gillette fusion 5

Gillette fusion5 I was shaving the Gillette fusion 5 has braids in the front like all disposable razors it also has a hidden blade in the back and I have a larger upper lip and the blade in the back cut my lip and cut me open and I think it will probably cut a lot of people’s lips open I think that’s why they don’t put a blade on both sides of kitchen knives it’s just not safe they should recall this product I made a [REDACTED] video of it just now to warn people and I called Gillette.

The product, in the report: Venus Simply3 Disposable Razors

I purchased a package of “Venus Simply3 Disposable” razors from Amazon.com on January 19, 2019. I finally started using one in April 2019. I was shaving my legs in the shower and while shaving my left leg the razor skinned my shin. It literally removed about 3 inches of skin off of my shin and I’m left with a scar because of it. I am reporting this now because I received an email about the recall. I usually use a different type of razor from the same company and thought that maybe these razors were just extra sharp and that I wasn’t careful. But now I see there was actually a defect. I’ve never cut myself with the other razors that I use from this company.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/29/2019) The Procter & Gamble Company: Thank you for bringing this report about Gillette Venus to our attention. We’re sorry to learn of our consumer’s experience. Please know nothing is more important to us than the safety of our consumers, and we take reports of this nature seriously. Venus products are manufactured under stringent quality control procedures to help ensure their quality and performance. We maintain an ongoing monitoring program for quality and safety because the safe use of our products is always our highest priority. The information you provided is important to our ongoing efforts to maintain high standards, and it has been shared with our Quality Assurance (QA) Team and with our P&G Safety Team.
Be assured that we strive to ensure all consumers have the best possible experience with our products and our priority is the safety and confidence of the millions of women who trust us with their personal care needs. To that end, we’re disappointed to share that a temporary manufacturing issue resulted in a very small number of Venus Simply3 disposable razors being released which are more likely to cut during normal use; no other Venus products are affected.

Finally, we would appreciate the opportunity to engage further with the consumer through our Consumer Relations channels by phone toll-free at 1 (800) 445-5388, between 9AM and 6PM EST.
