The product, in the report: Revell light duty aluminum handle knife with blade assortment
On November 11, 2014, I purchased a Revell light duty aluminum handle knife with blade assortment from Michael’s. Prior to purchasing , I hadn’t realized that no sheath was included. I opened the package at my dining table, discovered the missing sheath, turned and walked about 2 feet to my kitchen counter to retrieve an old [REDACTED] knife sheath from my sewing kit. When I went to put the sheath on the Revell knife I discovered the blade was missing. There was a large canvas shopping tote and a backpack hanging from the chair where I opened the package as well as carpet all around. I did an extensive search in a 2 foot radius in which I’d opened the package including in the backpack and shopping tote but I couldn’t find the blade. I assumed I’d tipped the knife over the recycling bin at the corner of the cabinet where my sewing kit resides and the blade had fallen in there. The recycling bin was full so it wasn’t feasible or safe to search through it for the blade.
On December 4, 2014, I took the tote that had been hanging on the dining room chair grocery shopping. While taking the tote downstairs later that evening to put the groceries away, I felt something poking me in the thigh just below my hip. I reached my left hand down to move the bag off my leg thinking I’d inadvertently picked up a pine needle. When I pushed the tote off my leg, I immediately felt hotness and dripping from my hand. Upon inspection there was a 2 inch long gash from base to head across the proximal phalanx of my left middle finger. The gash was deep enough that it necessitated stitches. Luckily the blade didn’t cut deep enough to cut the tendons as it would have severed them since it went from right to left across the proximal phalange which would have necessitated surgery to reattach. As the incident occurred late at night, I couldn’t just visit my doctor or even an Urgent Care for stitches; I had to go to the emergency room. The bill for that was $1633.27 with an OOP cost of $805.28, though the cost could have been exponentially higher had the blade severed the tendons or hit bone.
I consider it very lucky that the blade didn’t present itself earlier in the day while the tote was being loaded with groceries or while my kids helped me bring them in from the car. While I’m not happy I was cut, I am very happy that it was me and not any of the other people who could have been hurt, especially my kids.
