The product, in the report: Plastic clothes hamper
About 2 weeks ago I purchased 2 hampers for our daughter’s bedrooms. Saturday I took my one daughter’s hamper down to the laundry room and was emptying it by reaching into it to get the clothes out. As I got toward the bottom where it is a bit narrower, I reached in and suddenly felt a searing pain in my finger.
The hamper is made of plastic and has plastic cut-outs for decoration (and ventilation?). The edges of these cutouts are razor sharp and cut my finger deeply.
