  1. No one hurt

    Made Feb 19, 2012, sent to the company Feb 28, 2012, published by CPSC Mar 13, 2012

    The product, in the report: Stephen Joseph Quilted Backpack Firetrudk design Blue with red trim •Fully Lined Backpack with Magnetic Snap Closure •100% Cotton •Machine Washable •Fun Coordinating Zipper Pull •Perfect for Monogramming •Approx. 9.5” x 12”

    I purchased a Stephen Joseph Quilted Backpack with the firetruck design (product # SJ-1001-11) for my son and upon receiving it noticed as I reached my hand inside the backpack something sharp snagged my fingertips. After a closer look I found that there at least 4 of the metal rings that the drawstring feeds through that have sharp pieces/edges sticking up on the inside of the backpack . This defect could easily cut someones hand. Thankfully I found this defect before my son received any type of injury and have taken it away from him.
