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.

    The product, in the report: DWHT16148 set of three side strike chisels

    Using a Stanley Side Strike Chisel Set - Model DWHT16148. The most dangerous manual tools I have ever owned as a professional engineer with 50 years’ experience. This is third time in using the tools to build a small wood project that the side edge has sliced through even my [REDACTED] gloves and cut me on my left thumb and right index fingers. It is impossible to use these without chainmail gloves - which I have now ordered. There is NOTHING on the package aor on the Stanley website that discusses the additional hazards and required PPE for using this tool.
