  1. No one hurt

    Made Dec 9, 2014, sent to the company Jan 23, 2015, published by CPSC Feb 13, 2015

    The product, in the report: Custom-Made Bathroom Shower Glass Panel Dimensions: 64 in. x 0.5 in. x 48 in. Tempered Glass

    02/15/2008 (Approximate) The shower consisting of three glass panels was installed in the consumer’s home by Broadway Glass & Mirror, Inc.

    12/03/2014 The consumer and his daughter were home. His daughter upstairs in den and consumer downstairs. The consumer indicates that because it was raining this day, when he heard a loud explosion, he believed it was thunderstorms. The consumer’s daughter corrected the consumer and told him that what he heard was not thunder, and proceeded to go to consumer to see if she could find the source of the loud explosion. When the consumer’s daughter entered her father’s room, she noticed that one of the consumer’s shower panels had shattered all over the bathroom and the glasses had extended to the bedroom as well.

    The consumer immediately proceeded to contact a twenty-four-hour cleaning company, [REDACTED], to clean up the glass panel that shattered all over his bathroom and bedroom. Within the hour, the company sent one person to clean up, which the consumer indicates took the person approximately three to three-and-a-half hours to finish.

    12/04/2014 The consumer contacted Broadway Glass & Mirror, Inc. After explaining to the representative by the name of [REDACTED] he spoke to, she indicated that he would be receiving a call back.

    12/05/2014 The consumer received a phone call by a sales person named [REDACTED]. This sales person offered to pay the consumer a visit and measure the door as well as talk to him about what his options were. The consumer said that he wants to leave his options available because he does not feel very safe buying from them again. [REDACTED] offered his help and assistance if and when the consumer needed it, regardless if the consumer decides to buy from them again or not.

    The consumer indicates that he never had a problem with the shower prior to this incident and that he used it daily and wipes down with a micro-fiber cloth, which is what consumer’s are told to clean them with in order to keep the glasses clear and shiny.

    The consumer has no injuries to report. The consumer believes this product poses a safety hazard. The consumer will contact the manufacturer as soon as he finds out who they are.
