Emergency room Made Oct 8, 2026, sent to the company Oct 14, 2026, published by CPSC Nov 4, 2026
The product, in the report: Super Glue Original Formula. Yellow box with yellow glue container, red top.
I’m contacting you regarding a product safety incident involving a Super Glue product purchased at a Dollar Tree location. When my daughter (age 11) opened the box and went to squeeze it onto her nail, the container unexpectedly burst from the side and the contents struck my child directly in the eye and face. After immediate assessment, we went to the emergency room where she was treated for hours (5 hours). The E.R. doctor wasn’t successful in getting her eye open and contents removed so we had to see a specialist tin the morning. Ultimately, the eye specialist felt the need to schedule “surgery” where they put her under general anesthesia to cut the lashes, get her eye open and remove all of the super glue from her eye. She had lacerations under her eye socket from the glue. She missed an entire week of school and sports from the pain endured.
I would like to formally report the incident and open a claim for the related medical expenses. Unfortunately, we no longer have the original packaging, but I can provide information about the store, approximate purchase date, circumstances of the incident, medical treatment, and any other documentation available.

No one hurt Made Jun 16, 2021, sent to the company Jul 20, 2021, published by CPSC Aug 3, 2021
The product, in the report: The Original Super Glue Super Glue, two 0.12 oz. (3.6 g) tubes, total 0.25 oz. (7.2 g). Model 12303 AD-151
Super glue cap has 2 pieces that are both connected, a lower white section and an upper orange section. Cap is not screwed into the tube in the packaging. I screwed in the entire cap and then removed the orange top section, which after reading the instructions later is the correct way to do this. I knew that the white section was for piercing the tube, but I don’t think at the time that I realized that the tube was pierced. After removing the top orange part of the cap, some super glue spilled out of the tube and got on the middle and lower part of my index and middle fingers, and a very small amount near the tip of my thumb. I think that the middle and index fingers may have been stuck together very briefly, but I was able to separate them and rinse my fingers under running water and also used liquid soap. I was not injured, it’s more just an annoyance trying to scrape off the dried up glue that is stuck to my fingers. I’m not fully clear if this was due to my error, but I don’t believe that I squeezed the tube and most likely the tube was just pointing down and the glue spilled out. Even if this was my error, I think that the instructions about how the cap works and to not squeeze the cap when puncturing need to be much more prominent and not just in the small print directions on the back of the package that likely no one reads (I didn’t because I’ve used super glue a few times before and wasn’t expecting a problem). After the fact when I read the instructions there was a paragraph with advice for bonded skin or fingers, so I guess this is a common problem. What happened to me is very trivial, and I’m only reporting this because I’m worried that someone else could have a much more serious problem than I did if they get this in their eyes or elsewhere.
