How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 2 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.

    Made Aug 25, 2024, sent to the company Aug 28, 2024, published by CPSC Sep 12, 2024

    The product, in the report: STANLEY FAT MAX UTILITY KNIFE

    Blade installation of this product places one at risk for deep cuts to the hand. The warnings are generic and instructing the use of gloves in the instructions will not prevent cuts as new sharp blades are being installed and will cut thru leather gloves easily. The difficulty in removing worn blades and installing new sharp blades adds to the inherent danger of this product. Only by using vice grips or steel woven gloves can blades be safely replaced. I was not injured but I do recognize the risks.

    Made May 29, 2019, sent to the company Jun 20, 2019, published by CPSC Jul 15, 2019

    The product, in the report: This is a Stanley utility knife (box knife) bought at Home Depot. It came in a “combo pack” with a “Fat Max” tape measure.

    I was using a very new utility knife to cut a bungee cord, when the blade ejected out of the knife and flew across the room.
