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: cell phone

    My husband was sitting in our backyard with his LG-VS870 cell phone in his left pants pocket. Suddenly he felt an “electrical charge” and a burning sensation on his left left. He had received a severe burn from his thigh down to his calf.
