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.

    The product, in the report: Husky Folding Lock-Back Utility Knife (3-Pack) Model# 99732

    I have been using a Husky folding, lock-back knife from Home Depot. It has a belt clip, and I usually keep it clipped to my belt.

    On at least 4 occasions in the past year, I have found the knife on my belt and partly or completely open, exposing the razor-like blade.

    I tried calling Husky & Home Depot at least 3 times before contacting the CPSC, but they did not want or know how to handle it as a safety problem despite the fact that I tried to guide them there.

    This open-blade problem can affect the wearer of the knife and those around them. This last event, around other people, told me that it was a safety problem that needed to be addressed, but Home Depot did not seem to want, or know how, to do that during 3 calls today.

    The product, in the report: Husky 4” Wall Stripper, item 569494 sold through Home Depot

    A 4” wall stripper/scraper sold at home depot as item number 569494 is materially defective and unsafe. I purchased 2 of them, and one broke within 20 minutes of normal use, allowing a sharp 4” razor to fall along with the head of the tool attached. I got a replacement thinking it was just a bad one, and the replacement did the same thing within 30 minutes, this time injuring one of my employees as the razor fell directly into the palm of his hand, pushed by the weight of the tool head still attached. I have told the customer service line, and attempted to leave a review on home depots site (which was rejected). I am not the only person to have complained of this, and I can only imagine how many other negative reviews were rejected by home depot.
