The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Jul 26, 2019, sent to the company Sep 17, 2019, published by CPSC Oct 1, 2019

    The product, in the report: Dollar Store plastic forks fork, knife and spoon boxes. 48 pcs. In box Green, Red, Yellow package Knives forks spoon Fork claws easily break off Chocking hazard Bar code 3225104149 5 I was in Binghamton General Hospital; United Health Service 7/1/19 - 7/3/19 was admitted 10-42 Mitchell Ave Binghamton, N.Y. 13903 Broome County And they were giving us the same plastic forks - choking hazard in a hospital? Comment: I hope they don’t give these out in Hospitals, Nursing Homes -n-schools!?

    This consumer is reporting that he purchased plastic utensils around the end of May 2019, however when he sat down the first time to use the fork the claws came off extremely easy. He is reporting this as a choking hazard and is asking that the public be made aware as well as a recall created. There are no injuries being reported The caller has not contacted the manufacturer but he does intend to contact them.
