The reporter stated that he was a door greater at a retailer and he noticed that there was a safety hazards with the carts used at the store. The reporter stated that these carts are the ones that the attached baby seat located on the rear of the shopping cart. The reporter informed me that the baby seats located on the carts were supported by a stainless steel plate. The reporters stated that the cart was cracking and breaking on the spot weld that connects the stainless steel tube which was attached to a plate. The consumer stated that these stainless steel tubes and plates are only supported by these spot welds. The consumer stated he felt that it was a fall hazard for children who are placed on these baby seats, because the support of the seat can easily break. The consumer believes that these seats can easily fall off the cart and he was afraid this could happen when a baby was inside the seat. The reporter stated that he informed management and they pulled all their carts from this particular store. Although he was afraid that corporate was not doing anything to inform other locations of the hazard that this carts can pose. UPDATE: Since I made the original report I have obtained more information pertinent to the failed baby mounted on the grocery carts used by Wal-Mart stores. The name of the seat is SAFE SEAT, manufactured by sse Inc. of Fairfield, NJ. I also photographed the seats that failed at our store. Unfortunately some of the pictures are a little out of focus. When I took the pictures ,I was in bright sun and was unable to preview the photos after they were taken. Picture one. The seat (a) is made with a foam material and is surrounded with a metal tube with a tube that goes down the back of the seat (b). This tube is attached wlith one spot weld (c) to a metal plated (d). The metal plate has a bracket that surrounds the metal tube (e) but that is not otherwise attached to the seat except for one spot weld at the other end of

7.29.20 4:PM Walgreens -8088 Antoine Dr. Houston, TX 77088 (281) 272-2592 Exited Walgreens with a double basket metal grocery cart. Walked on their walkway past 3 parking lot stalls to my car. I pushed the first two wheels of the basket over the curb since my vehicle was located about 1 foot away. The first two wheels went over the curb but never touched the ground until the cart tipped over with me on top of it. These grocery carts dimensions cause a hazard to consumers. The distance between the front wheels and the back means the front wheels can not land safely on the ground without tipping over the whole cart. My injuries known so far-sprains, strains, back pain, wrist pain, leg and ankle pain, headache, nausea, head injury,arm and torso pain.

On 6/29/2024 at approximately 6:50pm EST (later confirmed by video to be at [REDACTED] as per surveillance video), I was putting away an empty shopping cart at the Harris Teeter store located at [REDACTED] when the wheels locked up and an alarm went off. This abrupt locking of the wheels caused a jarring stop (as clearly shown in the video) which injured me. The device involved in the locking of the cart wheel is the PurChek System. Initially, I dismissed the incident as a mere part of modern life but as the evening went on I began to experience back pain, shooting sensations, pins and needles and numbness in my legs, prompting a visit to urgent care the next day (6/30/2024). Further issues with numbness and pain prompted me to go to a second urgent care visit on 7/5/2024. I recently visited a spine specialist (8/19/2024) who confirmed that my continuing symptoms are tied to the incident and prescribed physical therapy. While I am for the most part recovered, I still have unresolved back pain which I hope the physical therapy will address. Out of a concern for public safety, I reached out to Harris Teeter, who refused to engage with my concerns except to state the device was operating as intended when it injured me. In the process of dialogue with their Third Party Claims Adjuster (TPA), [REDACTED], I was informed that injuries of my nature were not uncommon from the intake person I talked to. Seeing as Harris Teeter and its representative were not responsive to my concerns and they involved a risk to the public, I reached out to the North Carolina Attorney Generals Office (AG). While Harris Teeter was initially non-responsive to the AG, they finally responded after the AG reached out a second time but merely provided statements that the device carries no risk while stating they can acquire safety information to support such a claim if necessary while simultaneously attacking and ignoring my concerns. I held off on reporting this incident to the CPSC u

I am calling for the recall of the Kroger's kiddie race car cart. My daughter [REDACTED] was stuck in the basket for about 15mins on 07/08/2012. They had to take the basket apart with wrenches, pliers and screw drivers because from her knee to her foot was wedged in the small basket underneath the set. If one moved her then extreme presser was on her knee, leg and ankle which would have caused a brake of her knee, leg or ankle. After trying to get her unstuck for about 8mins, I demanded the fire department be called. The fire department arrived just as the managers pull the basket apart with all their might. They're our heroes. This happened at the Kroger [REDACTED]. The kiddie car cart doesn't feature a release on any of the sides of the cart if a child is stuck in the cart. My child is 3 and she weighs 34 pounds. I [REDACTED]attached some footage that one of the customers taped [REDACTED. They're still using the bashets

Dear US Consumer Product Safety Commission: I grocery shop with my toddler weekly at Market Basket in Biddeford, Maine. This Market Basket location uses Safe-Strap child safety belts in their carts. I've become aware that there is a serious safety concern with the buckles on these straps. These seat belts appear to be secured after buckling, but the buckle pops open with a small amount of force. These belts and buckles appear to be in good condition and are not broken otherwise. I first noticed the problem approximately 6 weeks ago. My buckled toddler attempted to stand up in the cart's seat. The buckle popped open! I immediately notified the front-end store manager on duty, [REDACTED]. I demonstrated the buckle buckling and then unbuckling with a slight tug. [REDACTED] assured me this safety issue would be addressed immediately. Since then, I've come across multiple cart belts at this store with the same issue. I addressed the issue once again with [REDACTED] during my weekly shopping visit today. [REDACTED] stated that she addressed the problem with Safe-Strap personally and with her supervisor, "[REDACTED]." Nothing has been done. This serious safety issue needs to be addressed immediately. I am sending a copy of this message to Safe-Strap and Market Basket corporate offices. Please feel free to contact me regarding this issue. [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]

Place: Walgreens78 TURNPIKE RD, SOUTHBOROUGH, MA 01772 Dates: May 13, 2012, May 22, 2012, May 31, 2012 At this store all of the shopping carts have broken child restraint buckles. I reported this to the store personnel on all occasions but they have yet to fix any of the carts. I am forced to hold my 8 month old baby in the cart to ensure she doesn't fall out. This makes shopping problematic, when I need two hands to pick up something, she could fall out of the cart. I feel this is a dangerous situation they won't change until someone with a higher authority takes action.

While riding in the race cart shopping cart at BJ's, my daughter was reaching over the plastic portion that contains the children's steering wheels and her fingers became trapped between the molded plastic and the wire basket. When I examined the cart after getting her loose, I noticed that the molded plastic curves upward at the sides, allowing for enough room to very easily get small fingers trapped between the plastic and basket.
