Hurt, no treatment Made Mar 10, 2019, sent to the company Mar 18, 2019, published by CPSC Apr 8, 2019
The product, in the report: A mop for washing floors. O-Cedar Power Scrub Microfiber Roller Mop
I purchased an O-Cedar mop a while ago and just tried to use it. It is very hard to use (install the sponge) and easy to injure yourself.
First, there’s a clear plastic bag over the sponge on the mop when you purchase it. You must remove this but the instructions are printed on the clear plastic and the sponge is blue with white scrubbing pads making it impossible to read. I was able to remove the sponge so the plastic could be taken off.
Then I went to put the sponge back on. Impossible. There are sharp, jagged steel edges and the sponge would not fit back on the mop. I’m not a strong person and I don’t know why it takes such a large force to get the sponge hooked on to the mop. The mop sponge holding mechanism appears bent - not sure if this was due to me or if it’s designed that way. I could never get the sponge to properly be installed. I got it 2/3 of the way, but then it fell off.
This is a dangerous product as you’re likely to get scratched up, cut or worse due to the large force required to install the sponge.
I have photos and I hope these can be uploaded.
