No one hurt Made Apr 26, 2022, sent to the company Jul 12, 2022, published by CPSC Jul 26, 2022
The product, in the report: 39” high, walk-thru steel pet gate. Color is graphite. It’s used to keep pets out of rooms.
My daughter’s 60 pound Australian Shepherd’s head got stuck between the bars of pet gate. I was at home, and I was able to bend the bars apart to free him. The manufacturer photos of the gate show a child with a dog. I found out that the spacing between the bars is 2-1/2”. I discovered that the vertical bars aren’t rigid, since I was able to bend them with my hands. This gate does not meet baby gate standards, yet the manufacturer photo shows a child next to the gate.

First aid Made Oct 18, 2021, sent to the company Oct 20, 2021, published by CPSC Nov 3, 2021
The product, in the report: Midwest Homes For Pets ConTour Exercise Pen with door 560-24. Black metal pet cage (open top exercise pen), 8 panels 24 x 24 inches each.
I was taking the product out of the box (Midwest Pet Exercise Pen 560-24). As I was grasping the product using both hands, a sharp metal edge deeply cut my right pointer finger causing a bleeding laceration. I stopped to tend to the wound. Then making sure I did not touch the same spot of the cage that cut me, I continued to proceed to remove the item from the box. Suddenly I was cut again, this time to my left thumb (also a bleeding laceration). I examined the cage and found numerous areas of sharp and jagged metal edges. I determined the product to be unsafe and discontinued my efforts to use it.

No one hurt Made Apr 10, 2012, sent to the company Apr 18, 2012, published by CPSC May 2, 2012
The product, in the report: Cat Playpen used to house cats either temporarily or on a long-term basis.
When assembled, this collapsible cat cage, marketed as a “Cat Playpen,” has large gaps at the corners where the panels that form the top and the sides of the cage meet. There is a 1-inch gap between the top panel and the side panels and a v-shaped gap between the side panels that is approximately 1/4 inch wide at the top, tapering down over the course of abut 4.5 inches until the two panels meet. The flimsy construction of the cage makes it easy for an animal or a small child to accidentally catch a finger, toe, hand, or paw in this gap. While my cat was climbing around the cage, her toe slipped into this gap and became wedged in the v-shaped space between the two side panels, and she was left dangling by her one toe. By the time we freed her, her toe was so severely damaged that it had to be amputated, resulting in veterinary bills of over $1200. This cage is not safe for use with animals (its intended purpose.) Small children could also easily get their fingers caught in this cage and suffer similar injury. I am attaching photos that display the gaps at the corners of the cage. I have also used a stuffed animal to illustrate how a child or animal can get a finger, toe, hand or paw stuck in these gaps. To show how the cage should have been constructed, I have also attached a photo of a similar collapsible cage made by a different manufacturer that does not have these dangerous gaps between its panels when assembled. I have attached a photo of the cat’s injured toe to demonstrate the severity of the injury. I also am in possession of an email sent in March 2012 by a Mid-West Homes for Pets customer service representative stating that the cage is not safe for kittens, but the product’s literature and web site (see attached) describe it as a product for cats and kittens.
