The product, in the report: Toy retractable Build and Grow 5ft/1.5m Tape Measure
My son was playing with the build and grow measuring tape we got in the children’s toolbox from Lowe’s. He broke the thing open by dropping it on the floor. I didn’t realize it was sharp thin metal inside because it looked like black plastic. So I was letting him try to fix it and wasn’t paying too much attention to it. He then came up to me and wanted me to kiss his finger because he had hurt it. When looking at his finger I noticed two thin slices on it. I then realized it was metal in the measuring tape that had sliced his finger in 2 places and not plastic. The wounds were also black in color because of whatever was on the metal that gave it the black color. It wasn’t bad enough to take him to a doctor but it was concerning enough for me to want to report the toy because it is meant for kids and should not contain thin sharp metal capable of slicing skin.
