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.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Aug 1, 2022, sent to the company Sep 7, 2022, published by CPSC Sep 21, 2022

    The product, in the report: manual screwdrivers

    Three different screw drivers broke, while being used, within the last month. All 3 were made by this same manufacturer and purchased from the same dealer and everyone of them broke in the same fashion.

    The tip of each screw driver broke, while tightening screws. The caller does electrical work and pointed out that someone could be seriously hurt, while using them.

    7/30/2022: He sent the firm an email and the next day, he received a reply from them, requesting pictures and the screw driver. He will not send it to them, but will retain it in case CPSC wants to examine it.

    He’s been using this manufacturer’s brand for 30 years and has never experienced this problem before.

    The previous 2 screw drivers were purchased from the same dealer and each time he returned them, they exchanged them, because of the life-time warranty.

    There were no injuries, but the potential is definitely present.
