The product, in the report: Rubbermaid model 1800001 slide lid resin shed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KL9PBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Rubbermaid model 1800001 Slide-Lid Shed. The shed is intended to allow the user to slide the roof backwards into an open position or forward into a closed position. When in the forward/closed position, the user is supposed to be able to close the two front doors to seal the shed. As currently designed, this operation is unsafe and exposes the user to pinch hazards: The shed roof is inadequately supported, so the peak of the roof sags below the top of the doors. To close the shed, the user must manually lift the peak of the roof while closing the doors, then release the roof onto the doors. It is very difficult to perform this operation without pinching the user’s fingers between the roof and door.
The mechanical design of the shed is inadequate. The roof is attached to two flexible walls. There is no horizontal cross-support to prevent the walls from bowing outwards, which causes the roof to sag.
I tried to report this safety issue to Rubbermaid on Sep-10 and again on Sep-26. I have received no response.
Amazon reviews indicate that a large percentage of users have encountered this issue, noting that manual manipulation of the roof height is necessary to close the doors. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KL9PBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
