First aid Made Aug 8, 2016, sent to the company Aug 16, 2016, published by CPSC Aug 30, 2016
The product, in the report: Better Homes and Gardens 11.9-Gallon Semi Round Trash Can
I depressed the foot pedal to open the trash can and my small toe became caught between the pedal and the bottom edge of the container. As I removed my foot, my small toe was severely lacerated by the bottom edge of the container. The bottom edge of the container is stainless steel and extremely sharp.
It would seem that the bottom edge of the container, at least above the pedal, should have some kind of protection or barrier instead of just an exposed sharp edge.

I have also reported this to Walmart. The Manufacturer, Better Homes and Gardens, does not have an online contact mechanism, however they do have an 800 number will call later.
