The product, in the report: Command Picture Hanging Strips (sized small, medium and large)
After spending a small fortune on frames to create a gallery wall of my children’s artwork throughout the years, I decided to go with the command [fastener] picture hanging strips. I followed every step, doubling up on strips even when the weight of my frames where nowhere near the lowest weight recommended. Less than 20 minutes of having 12 frames, three large 15 3/4 x 19 3/4 frames leapt off the walls from various positions narrowly missing not just my head but my children. I have 9 ft ceilings and my gallery wall went the from floor to ceiling. Two of the frames went from the very top, those once we tripled your recommended strips. One took another one down with it. My husband is currently vacuuming out our laundry room and rewashing every thing that was in there as glass went everywhere. I myself could only brace myself against the two falling picture frames and while I was lucky not to get cut, I have glass dust and small particles all over my hair. If either of my children had been standing where I was standing I would be in the hospital right now. It is beyond irresponsible to sell a product that is as unsafe as this one is. While I absolutely hate the holes that nails and screws leave behind at least when I hang my pictures from them my life and health is not in danger. The product is unsafe and the trust I placed in Command as a company is shattered along with the glass on my laundry room floor.
