As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: Sunbeam “cube” mini-fridge

    Hi - I bought a small “cube” refrigerator for my son’s dorm room. The fridge has no handholds. The only way I could carry it was to put one hand inside the fridge and the other hand where the electrical cord comes out on the back. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! The area with the cord has sheet metal that cut into my hand -- I ended up bleeding. All mini-fridges should have handholds! The current lack of handholds is terrible - people lift these frequently! It is not safe!!
