Hurt, no treatment Made Oct 11, 2012, sent to the company Oct 18, 2012, published by CPSC Nov 8, 2012
The product, in the report: Glass-globed incandescent string lights on a cord with a normal wall plug.
We just bought some “RE. Room Essentials” string lights From Target (small glass sphere lights). My girlfriend hung them up, and an hour later we noticed there was two burnt out. Incredulous, she tried screwing one of the burnt out bulbs in tighter in case it was just loose. The glass globe shattered in her hand, cutting her and leaving shards of glass in her hand. She’s no brute; she used care and caution. The glass used in this product is cheap, brittle and dangerous.
