Emergency room Made Dec 1, 2014, sent to the company Dec 9, 2014, published by CPSC Dec 23, 2014
The product, in the report: 96 gallon 2-wheel rollout cart
I went to move the yard cart just about 24” and I instantaneously was on the ground with the yard cart that had hit my face with all its weight. I felt the crush of my nose and called for my husband to call 911 as I knew I was severely injured. In the ER, it was determined an ENT specialist needed to be called into do surgery as the nose had a laceration that went totally through, the nose was broken, the septum was severed and the cartilage was in pieces. An hour and a half surgery was done to rebuild the nose.

Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Apr 19, 2013, sent to the company Jul 31, 2013, published by CPSC Aug 14, 2013
The product, in the report: 96 gallon trash can patentL T14546 Lid 950-6
On February 16th, 2013 Caller went to the curb where the garbage truck had just emptied her 96 gallon can.
She shut the top of the trash can and began pulling the can the 250 feet from the road to reach her garage, she stopped in her garage, on a flat surface she put the trash can upside down to empty the rainwater then turned it right side up again.
The lid was open, she pulled it toward her and very quickly she was sucked into the trash can.
Her left hand was on the handle making it a fist position and causing severe bruising on the left hand and left arm, her right front tooth was knocked out and the left front tooth is slightly cracked.
She states that she always closes the lid to her trash can but since she was only moving a very short distance she diverted from normal behavior and became injured.
She contacted “Rumple” 3700 Struble Road, Cincinnati, OH 45251 - 1(513) 742-2900 February 28th, 2013, informed them of the incident and her injuries.
The trash company who also provides the cans, sent employee [REDACTED] out to caller’s house within 25 minutes after receiving her call and caller describes him as pleasant but also said the this person advised her that she is too short to be moving the 96 gallon can, took a report, pictures and provide caller with Claim# [REDACTED]. (Caller is 5’2” tall).
Around March 26th,2013 caller contacted the trash company again to inquire about the status of what she thought was a study going on to find cause of her accident but was informed that they always take pictures and create a report so that it was on file.
Company informed caller that they had no intention of doing anything because they list her incident as personal responsibility and it was the same as if she had run over the trash can with her vehicle.
Caller asked company representative, [REDACTED] that if it was such an issue why wouldn’t they just put a more visible warning on the cans advising consumers not to move them unless the lid is closed.
She would ask that this be processed.
Company said that there employees always close the lids, caller states that they rarely close the lids.
[REDACTED] also informed caller that “Please” has a definition of danger or caution. Caller states that the wording Please Close Lid Before Moving should be in red, orange, yellow any color but the black wording on the black lid.
Caller asked to speak with someone over [REDACTED]’s head to which [REDACTED] replied, that she would have [REDACTED] contact the caller.
[REDACTED] contacted caller around March 29th, 2013 and during a forty minute phone conversation where he was during time explained to caller that her incident was personal responsibility.
Caller explained to [REDACTED] that her dentist’s receptionist had fallen in her can twice and [REDACTED] told her that they were not talking about the dentists receptionist that they were talking about her and that he had eighteen other complaints but her wasn’t focusing on them either.
She asked him if he couldn’t just at least place a brightly colored sticker on the cans for the consumer.
He answered her that they had just placed five million dollars worth of trash cans within the city of Cincinnati and if he placed a bright sticker such as the one she described then the city may rethink the contract.
Caller was taken by car to Accudoc, Inc. (Greendale) (812) 577-0092 (urgent care), treated and released.
UPDATE FROM CONSUMER: On the can it says in the black imprinted on blank lid in back of lid. Please close lid before moving. Rumpke told me Please means Caution, Danger! It also says on outside of lid in back to move bin 1) grasp handle, 2) tilt 3) push or pull.
