The product, in the report: Mesh Laundry Hamper
I purchased the following product at Dollar Tree http://www.dollartree.com/Laundry-Essentials-Mesh-Pop-Up-Hampers/p320736/index.pro When I went to pick it up by the handle a wire inside it broke and gashed my forearm. My forearm required medical attention and I received 5 stitches and had to get a tetanus shot. Upon further inspection of this product it appears to be made with some type of extremely sharp wire. I have emailed Dollar Tree and tried to contact via phone and have not gotten any response back
