Hurt, no treatment Made Jul 21, 2024, sent to the company Jul 24, 2024, published by CPSC Aug 7, 2024
The product, in the report: 3/4” shark bite x 3/4” FNPT 90 degree ell. Part #U314LFA.
I recently purchase some shark bite plumbing fittings manufactured by RWC at Home Depot and today when I was installing a 3/4” x 3/4” FNPT fitting I observed a small thread sticking out of the one end. When I grasped the thread and tried to pull it out of the fitting I found that it was still attached to the fitting and the thread was actually a small piece of microscopic wire and it lacerated the end of my finger. The sharkbite fitting was manufactured by RWC.
