The product, in the report: IRIS Pet Carrier for Dog or Cat, Picnic Basket Design Product Details: Product Dimensions: 19.2 x 13 x 12.2 inches Shipping Weight: 6 pounds
This carrier has a FATAL design flaw. The first time I used this carrier was 7/4/12, Independence Day. As the fireworks started, my 11 pound docile cat popped the top and escaped into the closet. My first thought was that I had not closed the top lid correctly. WRONG! The next day, while on route to the vet, my cat popped the top open in the car. I quickly pulled over and scooted him back in and taped the lid shut. Once in the clinic’s parking lot, the main hinges came open while I was holding the carrier by the handles and my cat ESCAPED into the main street! Luckily, I was able to run though traffic and grab him. This is a major safety concern.
After writing a review of this life and death safety concern, I found many other reviews of the same product that described the exact same flaw.
