    The product, in the report: smooth touch can opener (Hamilton Beach)

    I bought a new Hamilton Beach electric can opener (Abrelatas Smooth Touch) and tried to open a can. In the process of opening the can, it created some long slivers of metal, very thin, almost couldn’t see them. If they got in my food I could choke to death - that metal sliver would cut a persons throat up.
