How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 1 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

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: Teal and grey plastic 3m laminator machine

    The 3M laminator I purchased from Amazon melted while I was attempting to use it. Product overheated. Melted the plastic sleeve and enclosures and fused together. Product became unusable so I threw it away.
