    Made Oct 26, 2020, sent to the company Dec 3, 2020, published by CPSC Dec 28, 2020

    The product, in the report: American line auto lock utility “razor blade type” off white/ with orange label- and snap-able blades to refresh the point very common

    I was loosening glue from tip of applicator - It happened so fast, I had been using the american line auto lock type blade- that you can snap off and refresh blade.I am 60 yrs old and very use to these type blades! I didn’t realize at first what really happened,I thought I slipped,but-after blood everywhere -screaming for my husband_ praying I did not damage a tendon...I went to close the glue+ realized =the blade sat in the tip-and what happened- is the Blade snapped, And this bottle is not hard plastic and the glue is soft!! This blade just cracked and my hand flew down- jammed into my thumb- A very dep painful puncture gash wound.I have never seen these blades do this before-in fact they are very hard for me to snap-and refresh the blade! I believe this is a defect. Im in pain ad outcome is uncertain.

    The product, in the report: Personna blue Thunder Deluxe Carpet Knife

    The consumer says her husband was cutting carpet. The knife slipped and came across his left wrist causing a very severe laceration to his left arm. The consumer immediately went to the ER. The consumer says the blade sticks out so far on both ends. The consumer says there is a sharp edge on both sides of the blade. She says there are not enough safety features on the knife. She says that if it had been her wrist she probably would not have survive. The consumer says her husband received 9 stitches and had to get physical therapy because 50% of his flexor tendon was cut.
