Hurt, no treatment Made Apr 22, 2017, sent to the company Jun 8, 2017, published by CPSC Jun 22, 2017
The product, in the report: This is a clip that is used to help level the top edges of floor tiles. It is hard nylon and is designed to break away, below the top level of the tile, after the tile mortar has hardened. They are semi transparent. When used as directed, there is a thin sharp edge protruding up, much like a nylon razor blade shape. Nothing indicates that this is a hazardous piece of plastic until you contact the upper sharp edge and it cuts.
The item is “QEP 99720Q LASH Tile Leveling, Aligning and Spacer Clips”, sold by Amazon. The top edge of these are thin. Knife thin. In place, rigid, wedged firmly, held down by tile and mortar, you have a whole herd of knife edges. I sliced my hand open just by putting my hand down in the wrong place. It’s a hidden (not common sense) hazard, and these things should NOT be sold on Amazon, whether with a warning or not. I complained to Amazon and have not heard back yet. Maybe they did not get the complaint; they make it very difficult to contact anyone at all.
