Ace Hardware Corporation 2200 Kensington Ct. Oak Brook, IL 60523-2100 Safety Issue: On August 11, Iwas straightening my fence gate using two Hampton brand lag screw eye bolts purchased from Kilgore's Clear Lake Lumber in League City Texas. While using my come-along, one of the eyebolts failed, allowing the come-along hook to hit me in the jaw. Two screw eyes were used; one stated "Made in china", the other stated "Made in USA". Both were from the same manufacturer (Hampton), with the same product number Fortunately, little or no damage was done, but it could have been fatal. That caused me to research the safe working load for eye bolts. The tag on the 3/8" lag screw eye bolts stated a safe working load (SWL) of 325 lbs. I looked at other supplier's web pages for an identical product, and found a SWL of 155 - 230 lbs. I had purchased additional Hampton brand hardware (1/2" eyebolts, turnbuckles, etc.) for another job, but due to my experience with these two lag screw eye-bolts, I'm returning the hardware. My Solution concerning this safety issue: This hardware should be labeled correctly with the correct SWL. [REDACTED]

I purchased 3M command picture hangers from Costco for $12. 99. This hangers or 3.65"x0. 75" wide. Pit is stated on the package that 4 hangers will support 16LBS of load. Using 4 hangers for each picture I hanged 4 pictures. Each picture did not weight more than 8 lbs. After few days all four pictures fell. Some damaged the floor and walls. All picture frames and glass were broken. One hand picture hot the object and then fell on the floor. The object torn the picture (about 3" slit). This picture is about 20"x30" and hand painted by my daughter. I contacted 3M help center ([REDACTED]) and all they offered me $19.99. I had return the remaining product and they were going to test that in the lab. I asked them to send me the test results. They said it is a proprietary information. I said if you can prove it, that four hangers can support 16 lbs of load then I will drop my case. On the package 3M has a limited Warranty/ Limitation of Liability statement, "Product is free from manufacturing defect. If defective, 3M will replace or refund at 3M's opinion. 3M is not liable for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential". How company can get away with the defective product with this type of statement. Picture could have fell on someone's head.

We purchased a new set of C.R. Lawrence porcelain mirror pivots from Glassware Pro (an on-line supplier) on December 9, 2012 and installed the pivots to hang a mirror on our main bathroom wall on December 28 2012. The C.L. Lawrence sales information states the pivots are rated to hold a mirror weighting up to 30 pounds. A mirror, weighing 22 pounds, was installed with hangers that exceeded the manufacturers requirements. The mirror was up approximately 2 weeks when on January 10, 2013 at approximately 9:30 at night the entire mounting assembly suddenly gave way from the wall and the mirror fell to the floor. Large pieces of razor sharp plate glass and glass shards were propelled through the air upon floor impact. We were fortunate that no one was injured when the mirror fell. Sharp glass shards and glass pieces were thrown up to 10 feet from where the mirror impacted.

Only two days after Thanksgiving, we arrived home from a day of running errands, to find the whole side of our closet ripped out of the wall and the contents spilled onto the floor. The shelf that was under the clothing rod was broken and there were very large holes left in the wall. The things that had been on my side of the closet were now across the center of the closet floor. Thank God I was not in the closet when these bolts gave or I likely would have been seriously injured. I wrote to the distributor/manufacturer about this issue three times to no avail. They never even gave it due attention to send an automated reply indicating receipt of our letters. After a few weeks i did contact both for one last time. At that time Lowes took a report indicating they felt it was a serious enough matter to warrant such a report, however i have heard nothing since from Lowes and to this day have never heard from the company whose questionable advertising policies have cost us a lot of money to repair damages and reinstall something that could have been done very differently in the first place had they not been so dishonest as to make unsubstantiated claims. We are thankful that there were no personal injuries yet even purely financial injuries inflicted on people on fixed incomes can be substantial, especially when those injuries could have been avoided had the truth been told in the first place. We don't want anyone else to be injured in any way, either financially or physically so we are making this report to your agency at this time.
