The product, in the report: Better Homes and Gardens Palm Valley outdoor wicker dining set sold by Walmart Corporation
I had washed the deck (using the hose and water) under my Better Homes and Gardens glass top dining table. About 4 minutes later while I was standing on the deck the glass table top exploded. It DID NOT break into a million pieces and fall on the ground- it EXPLODED and sent projectiles of glass up into the air landing up to 21 feet from the table. I was hit on the neck, arms, legs and feet with pieces of glass hard enough that the skin was ripped open and bleeding. I had four small pieces of glass sticking out of me. I was looking at the ground when this happened and glass ended up in my hair. (if I had been looking up it may have ended up in my eyes)Glass was embedded in the back of the seat cushions. The glass did not hit the ground and then bounce since I was looking at the ground and well aware of something hitting me before it hit the ground, it EXPLODED!!! About 6 years ago I purchased 5 of these sets. 4 were by the swimming pool and one was on a covered deck of the house. Two years ago one by the swimming pool suffered a similar fate however no one was near it when it broke and none of us saw the explosion (we heard it) and again glass was found 20 feet from the table in places that were too high for it to have bounced. This set was sold by Walmart under the Better Homes and Garden label. It is “outdoor” wicker dining sets with glass top tables.
