The product, in the report: Hefty Deluxe Foam Plates Extra Strong & Deep 36 CT
The submitter is reporting the product for posing an ingestion hazard.
He said during a gathering one of his guest ate a piece of plastic that came from the plate. Upon inspection he noticed the plate’s surface was bubbled and it appeared that the plastic seal was coming off. He also noticed the same issue on other plates from the package. He indicated that the product was purchased for this event and they had to discard all the food and plates used by the guests to avoid another incident. The guest who ingested the piece of plastic did not seek medical attention.
The next day he contacted the firm and reported the matter. The firm initially offered a coupon for the purchase of another package of plates but after he advised them that he spent a great amount on the food that was discarded due to the incident, the firm then offered compensation for his expenses. The firm also requested him to send them a plate for further inspection. He said the following day he received the package and sent them a defective plate.
He has called the firm three times during the past two weeks but he repeatedly gets an automated system that states all the Reps are busy. He believes the firm is purposely rejecting his calls because the first time he called to report the matter he was transferred to a Rep. right away.
He believes the plates should be investigated and recalled. He mentioned having four plates left with the same issue but he sent the worst to the firm. He said it is visible that the plastic seal did not stick to the foam and it is coming off.
He said he has bought similar plates before by the firm but he never had this issue.
