The product, in the report: Metal Landscape Edging sold in 8ft. lenths
Shopping at home Depot, put a piece of metal edging on cart, piled mulch on top so metal edging would not slide off the cart. ( had that problem the last time purchasing this product) The product is sold in 8ft. lengths and the carts to transport the metal are 3ft to 5 ft. long. So the product overhangs on any cart to transport. The product is “RAZOR SHARP” on one side of the edging. No warning signs saying this is sharp. No gloves provided, no SAFETY GUARD on the very sharp edge. I walked away from my cart, went to get more items, upon returning to my cart, I walked into the metal edging and sliced my leg to thew bone. I was taken to the hospital via ambulance, and received 6 stitches in my lower leg. I am scared for life, and have over $3000.00 in medical bills both Home Depot (seller of the product) and Collier Metal Specialties, LTD( manufacturer) REFUSE to take responsibility for selling a dangerous product. It is concerning as a consumer to experience an incident with injury In-which could of been avoided if a PLASTIC GUARD was on the SHARP METAL EDGE. The product cannot be transported from shelf to cash register WITH OUT sustaining an injury. Please investigate the sale of this product.
