  1. No one hurt

    Made Feb 5, 2026, sent to the company Feb 10, 2026, published by CPSC Feb 25, 2026

    The product, in the report: The product is a rectangular bed sleeping pillow manufactured by Pem America Inc., intended for head and neck support during normal sleep use. It is a standard household pillow with a soft fiber fill and a stitched fabric outer cover, light/white in color, and similar in size to a standard or queen pillow (approximately 20 x 36 inches). It is designed for regular bedroom use with a pillowcase and appears externally like a typical soft bed pillow with no visible outside damage or defects before it was opened for inspection.

    I am reporting a serious safety defect involving a pillow manufactured by Pem America Inc.

    While using the pillow for sleeping, I repeatedly felt a sharp poking sensation against my head and neck over multiple nights. At first, I assumed the discomfort was due to uneven filling and continued to reposition my head while sleeping. However, the sensation continued and felt like a pointed object inside the pillow rather than normal stuffing.

    I examined the outside of the pillow carefully and found no holes, tears, or signs of tampering. Because the sharp poking continued, I decided to inspect the inside. I recorded a video while opening the pillow to determine the cause. Inside the pillow filling, I discovered a small, sharp metal pair of scissors consistent with the type used in textile or linen manufacturing. The object was fully embedded within the stuffing.

    There was no visible external damage that would suggest the object entered after purchase, so this appears to be a manufacturing defect.

    I was not severely injured, but the object poked my head and neck several times and could have caused serious harm. This represents a significant consumer safety hazard, especially given how the product is used near the face and eyes.

    I have preserved the object and pillow materials and also recorded video evidence showing the discovery and removal of the sharp object from inside the pillow. I am submitting this report so the product and manufacturing process can be investigated and appropriate corrective action can be taken to protect other consumers.
