As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: Wired headphones

    I am reporting a safety-critical failure of an Elgin device. The unit is producing unusual heat that has caused ear blockage and a heating sensation in my ears. These injuries occur at work and I had to take a medical leave because of this unsafe product that was intentionally mail to me to cause harm.
