Hurt, no treatment Made Nov 15, 2025, sent to the company Nov 20, 2025, published by CPSC Dec 5, 2025
The product, in the report: It’s a consumer hair clipper kit.
A hair clipper regularly sheds metal splinters, I have had to use tweezers to remove them from my fingers. It occured to me if this got in someone’s eye it would be a trip to the emergency room. I am thinking that quality hair clippers that don’t do this have been manufactured for a long time, so this is something should report. I am reporting after the second incident. The first one I thought was a fluke, but when it happened again, with exactly the same size and shape splinter, my thinking was I certainly didn’t detect all the splinters so the shedding rate is likely higher than I have observed, and I remembered how severe it is to get a metal splinter in the eye. So it goes to the trash, and this report gets generated.
At a usage rate of 4 haircuts per year, over 4 years, I have detected two splinters and had to remove them with tweezers and an eyeglass as they were very small (and hence more dangerous).
Product is a Phillips Norelco MG770 hair clipper. Any product using the same blade design and metallurgy would have the same risk.
