First aid Made Aug 28, 2013, sent to the company Sep 6, 2013, published by CPSC Sep 20, 2013
The product, in the report: KOHLER Swiftflo 1-1/2 in. Adjustable Trip Lever Drain in Polished Chrome Model # K-11660-CP Internet # 100098339
This is in reference to the following item sold at Home Depot; KOHLER Swiftflo 1-1/2 in. Adjustable Trip Lever Drain in Polished Chrome Model # K-11660-CP, Internet # 100098339
The threads for the couplings are razor sharp and will easily cut fingers or your hand if you try to tighten the fittings by hand. I installed this drain kit and sliced two fingers on the threads. It was not serious but did bleed and required cleaning, antiseptic and bandages.
I subsequently did install this product using gloves and pliers so I did not have to use bare hands. If someone was not careful or not aware of the danger, they could seriously cut themselves when attempting to install this product.
I have worked on plumbing for 40 years and have never cut myself on any plumbing fixture, pipe or coupling before.
I contacted the manufacturer, Kohler and they did not seem interested in either my injury or the potential dangers of their product. I attempted to repeatedly write a review on Home Depot’s website warning others of the dangers of this product and my reviews were rejected.
