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

The reports, as CPSC published them

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.

    Made Aug 22, 2014, sent to the company Sep 2, 2014, published by CPSC Sep 23, 2014

    The product, in the report: OtterBox cell phone holster with belt clip: http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-cases/samsung-galaxy-s4-cases,default,sc.html

    I have just received a cell phone holster for Samsung Galaxy S4: http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-cases/samsung-galaxy-s4-cases,default,sc.html

    This holster has a very sharp edge on top of belt clip. On August 19, as I sat inside of my car, the protruding edge of cell phone belt clip punched and embedded inside of waist (left side). It took me a while to remove the belt clip holster out of my body. It was very painful. I did not go to any hospital. I patched up my wound with bandaid and Neosporin. Please investigate this product.

    Thanks.
