First aid Made Dec 13, 2016, sent to the company Dec 21, 2016, published by CPSC Jan 6, 2017
The product, in the report: This is a rolling type backpack for kids. It has a handle to pull as well as straps to carry it.
We bought my daughter a Pottery Barn Kids rolling backpack for school. After 3-4 months of regular/normal use the handle that allows you to roll it broke off and exposed sharp metal pieces. Not only is it not well made, when it breaks, it creates a dangerous situation. My daughter cut her hand on the metal as she was trying to pull it along and I wrapped the whole thing in duct tape to protect her hands until a new backpack from another company arrived.

The product, in the report: A rolling back pack that also serves as a traditional backpack has a strap across the front of it that can chock a child when the back pack is pulled from behind.
A backpack from pottery barn (lavender butterfly) with wheels that also functions as a rolling backpack has a strap on the front that comes across the neck. The strap chocked her when the back pack was grabbed from behind. No injuries; however, potentially very dangerous. If requested I will send photos of the back pack.
