The product, in the report: MainStays Can Opener, manual, MS40-041-410-51
I bought a new can opener today and went to use it. The information on the package states “Easy to use manual can opener. Contoured handles distribute pressure evenly.” Their statement is false and while trying to use the first time, the handle broke off and the sharp plastic almost punctured my palm. It was a Mainstays Can Opener Distributed by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Bentonville, AR 72716. Made in China. Model: MS40-041-410-5. Scanner code: 076753330756. Cost should of warned me, $1.87.
