Hurt, care not known Made Sep 16, 2013, sent to the company Nov 18, 2013, published by CPSC Dec 3, 2013
The product, in the report: Steel die
The caller stated that the design of the dye when opened causes laceration. The dyes are used for card making through a press. She received a minor punctured wound on her finger because she was trying to pull it apart to use it. No medical attention was received. She stated that there are other distributors who make these dyes with the steel component.
(3/2013) The manufacturer was contacted through email but she did not receive a response. She feels that this product is a safety hazard and should be investigated.
The consumer has further investigated this matter, and the following is an update:
1. The consumer contacted another distributor, other than Memory Box, who stated that all the smaller companies such as hers; Memory Box; Poppystamps; [REDACTED]; [REDACTED], and others, have their stamps made by the same steel die manufacturer in the USA. She refrained from giving me the name of the manufacturer. 2. The consumer have enclosed some photographs of steel dies from Poppystamps (a subsidiary of Memory Box). You will note the dies are produced as one piece, held together by little steel bits. In order to separate the pieces, one must bend them back and forth, gently, to break them, or, they must use scissors or wire snips. It is the little steel bits that remain that are the culprits. It is very easy to puncture a finger, as they are very sharp. Even after removing the bits with scissors, parts still remain and must be filed. 3. You will also note that there is no warning on Poppystamp’s or any other packaging. 4. When the consumer spoke with one of the distributors, she reminded me that most of these companies are just a mom-and-pop business. They cannot afford to have their products massproduced {as [REDACTED] does) in China. [REDACTED is a large company that produces dies affixed to a piece of cardboard with sticky tape. You simply remove the die from the tape. Very safe. 5. The consumer does not want to target any one distributor. It is the manufacturer of these steel dies that needs to be contacted, and no one will tell me who that is. The consumer suspects this is an issue of economics, as far as the production of these dies. 6.The consumer would be content if the distributor/manufacturer could label their packaging with a definitive warning ... one that consumers can readily see; not something in small print, hidden in a comer on the back of the package.
