Hurt, care not known Made May 19, 2022, sent to the company May 23, 2022, published by CPSC Jun 7, 2022
The product, in the report: It’s a 7 inch black flimsy polypropylene plastic fork.
Enjoying my Panda Express lunch and using the plastic fork they provided, when I bit into the flimsy fork while eating. Two of the four tines of the fork snapped off. I immediately spit out the food, but couldn’t find the two broken off sharp pieces in the food container. Then I felt a sharp object in the back of my throat. I tired to dislodge, to no avail.
