The product, in the report: Metal Face Shield for Baseball/Softball
Dangerous/Injury situation with a new Defender Metal Pony-Tail Strap Face Protection Shield Model# DSS12DMS002 Size S/M White UPC 94922 82515 that we purchased for our daughter on March 14, 2013. It is a face shield designed for facial injury protection while playing Softball or Baseball. So the situation is this, we remove the tags from the new face shield and she started putting the shield on, but the chin cushion pops off resulting in the metal chin guard striking her in the front teeth. She was in terrible pain and we had to place ice in a compress on her from teeth for a long time. Next I inspected the face shield and reattached the chin cushion onto the face shield. I attempted to put the face mask on thinking a demonstration would help her. The chin cushion popped off and the metal struck me in the 2 front teeth, and it was very painful. I inspected and found that the [hook and loop fastener] on the metal side was the hook side of the [hook and loop fastener], but the chin cushion did not have the proper loop side to properly secure the chin cushion, hence the cushion pops off from the mask when attempting to put the mask on. I went back to the store and found all stock of this brand to either be missing the chin cushion, or with a cushion missing the [hook and loop fastener] loop.
