  1. First aid

    Made Nov 18, 2014, sent to the company Dec 5, 2014, published by CPSC Dec 19, 2014

    The product, in the report: Butter knives in five four place settings

    This caller purchased five four piece stainless steel flatware settings from an online source May 13th, 2013 and left it unopened pending purchase of new dishes also. Around October 2014 the caller purchased the dishes and placed dishes and flatware in the dishwasher before use. He and his wife sat down to eat when he picked his butter knife up he cut his thumb and index finger of his left hand. The caller’s wife is a registered nurse and she cleaned, treated and covered his cuts. Later that same day he was washing the same flatware just as he always washed other flatware, however the knives of these new settings being reported are so sharp that the palm of his right hand was cut. His wife again treated this cut. These knives have been put away where no one can use them. The butter knives used at the table with meals at times have a dull serrated edging but these are being reported as being as sharp as very sharp steak knives. The caller is reporting these knives as a severe laceration hazard especially since older children are many times trusted to use this type of knife.

    The caller contacted the retailer October 4th, 2014 and was advised to contact the manufacturer. The caller sent an email to the manufacturer November 17th, 2014 and received a generic response to contact the retailer.
