  1. Seen by a doctor or nurse

    Made Aug 8, 2013, sent to the company Aug 16, 2013, published by CPSC Aug 30, 2013

    The product, in the report: Small cube shaped toy safe (multiple colors and designs available) with a two number combination lock. There is a slot on the top for the safe to be used as a piggy bank. There is a metal round piece on the inside of the door that keeps the safe “locked” and a black plastic piece that should spin with the metal piece to keep it covered. However, the metal piece is rawly cut and razor sharp on the edges, and the plastic piece does not cover those edges. This is placed directly where a child would reach to open the door.

    We purchased a small toy safe with a combination lock (you can actually open the safe by just spinning the dial until it unlocks) for my three year old daughter at a Dollar Store in Fairfield, Ohio for $5.00. There is a round metal piece that keeps the safe “locked” on the inside of the door, attached to the back of the combination dial. There is no age restriction or warning on the toy, though the incident could have happened to a child of any age. My daughter was putting toy jewelry in the safe and the jagged, razor sharp edge of the metal round piece slit the top of her finger open, cutting it almost to the bone. Upon inspection, the entire piece is rawly cut, jagged, and the edges are razor sharp.
