Caller is reporting a chip clip releases the spring that went into his middle finger on his right hand this is the second time this product has caused injury. He stated that the wound was about a 1/30 of an inch (ballpoint size). First aid was applied to the wound. He stated that he was trying to put the clip back onto the bag when the plastic around the spring broke. The manufacturer or retailer was not contacted. Caller feels that this clip is a safety hazard and should be reported.

I have not purchased this product, but its existence concerns me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6PGN8N4/ These are gelatin pill capsules containing small message scrolls and a tiny metal ring to keep the paper rolled. I am concerned that someone could swallow these, thinking that they are medication. There are countless other brands of similar products on Amazon.

I purchased a Jot electric pencil sharpener from the Dollar Tree in Oshkosh, WI on August 18, 2024. UPC 1 95464 45828 0. It requires 3 AAA batteries. I place 3 brand new batteries into the compartment and set the sharpener down. I went to get a pencil. I was gone less than 5 minutes. When I picked up the sharpener, it felt hot. I opened up the battery compartment and burned my thumb. Since the product was not on, used a cloth s(so as to not burn myself further) and removed the 3 batteries which were hot. Some of the springs popped off the sharpener's battery compartment. One of the batteries showed heat damage to the outer battery wrapper.

Electric pencil sharpener with external power supply was sitting on a wooden cabinet not in active use. At some point there was a short or arc in the unit and it heated up enough to burn the cabinet and significantly melt the bottom of the sharpener.

On July 31, 2011, I purchase a stapler from Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. The stapler was sold as a school supply item in the children's educational aisle, so I decided to buy it for my daughter. The same evening, we loaded the stapler with standard size staples as indicated on the stapler's packaging. When my 6-year-old daughter attempted to staple a page as a test, the stapler ejected staples in the opposite direction and in the trajectory towards her face, closely missing her eye! Luckily, she was not injured, but this stapler's design is obviously flawed and harmful. Upon close inspection, I noticed that there was nothing locking the top cover in place and that is is just loosely held in place by the pressure of your hand pushing down on the stapler. Additionally, the spring on the loading side of the stapler is flawed allowing the stapler's top cover to wobble and possibly eject staples, as in the case and incident with my daughter, in the opposite direction intended. This stapler is highly likely to cause injury to anyone handling it, and because of it's small size intended for smaller hands, most likely the victim may be a child. Information on the packaging indicates the stapler is distributed by Greenbrier International Inc. in Chesapeake, VA 23320, and the stapler is Made in China. UPC Code on the packaging is shown as 6 39277 77531 3. Please remove this stapler from the market as soon as possible to avoid injury to children. Thank you, [REDACTED]

At 7PM or so on July 5th, 2022 - I received a package from [REDACTED]. I had ordered a Molblly King Size Mattress, 10 inch premium cooling-gel memory foam from Amazon. As I was following the instructions on how to open up the mattress, which is rolled and air sealed - the instructions advise you to avoid scissors or a knife for opening. Instead they provide a plastic opening tool which contains a razor blade. As I followed the instructions using the tool provided, the plastic shattered and the razor blade went inward cutting my middle finger deeply. I myself was using the product with a friend who was watching. The product was being used as instructed, and the plastic tool shattered, causing the internal razor blade to cut open the side of my middle finger. The cut was deep - but fairly narrow given it came straight on from the razor blade. I determined that stitches were likely not going to help, so took self care at home. It took nearly 30 minutes for the bleeding to stop enough to apply disinfectant and bandages. I was shocked at how flimsy the tool provided was given that it contained a razor. I have kept the broken tool and taken pictures of both the injury and mattress, packaging, and instructions. This will certainly happen again if something is not done to improve the quality of the manufacturers tools and I would be genuinely shocked if I am the only one this has happened to. Please take some action to ensure this is resolved with the manufacturer and does not happen again to someone else. While my injury was not serious enough to require a hospital visit/stitches, the next one may be. [REDACTED]
