Increasingly so a new generation on hand dryers in restrooms across America are being installed. Most popular installed the “ XLERATOR DRYER MODEL XL-SB”. I reside in California so I’m assuming they have also been installed in all Target Stores across America, check it out. Personally my hearing was compromised likley by one single event before this incident and I have been advised to be aware and stay away avoid loud noise and when warranted to wear ear protection to avoid additional hearing loss. The decibels emitting from this unit is ear piercing to me seems to be unsafe to me! I was in the rest room at a Target store and it was even painfully loud just sitting in the enclosed stall.

I was operating a newly installed Wausau paper towel dispenser at a Department of Defense installation and received lacerations on two separate occasions. The plastic edge/seam underneath is unnecessary sharp and right near the hand operated push to dispense mechanism. While operating the device my knuckle struck the edge and was instantly split open causing pain and bleeding.

(09/05/2017) The device is located on the back door of the building.The consumer stated that the wire snapped off of the bottom of the bolt causing the bolt to lock. The consumer could not get out of the door. The consumer stated that he and others had to go out of the front door. (09/12/2017) The consumer contacted the firm and was advised that the product is safe.

Koala Kare Child Protection Seat. Mom put 3 year old child into seat in restroom @ Dairy Queen and seat collapsed. Child fell onto tile floor. Asst. manager said this has happened before. Dairy Queen continued to keep this seat in restroom. On August 14, 2013 I took my daughter and my two grandchildren to the Dairy Queen Located at [REDACTED] for dinner. My daughter took her five year old daughter and three year old son to use the restroom while I prepared the table and waited for our food. I heard loud cries coming from the restroom as did the employees as there were two employees sitting at a nearby table. I ran into the restroom and was told by my daughter that she placed her 3 year old son in the seat the Koala Wall Seat. Then the seat itself collapsed sending him to the floor. It was a hard fall unto the tile floor. He was obviously hurt by hitting the floor. After we were able to the console him we went out to our booth. On the way to the booth I asked the employee sitting nearby to please find a manager for us. A young woman came to our booth. I asked for an incident report so I could report what had just occurred. Her response was if an incident report was given we would have to take the child to the ER. We were not given an incident report. I as my grandson's grandmother should have insisted on filing out an incident report. She also stated that his has happened before. We were then offered ice cream for the children (which we had already paid for). Ad I was leaving I went in to check to make sure that some measure had been taken to block off the seat so that it was unusable there was no tape of signage to indicate that the seat was broken. I called today and spoke to [REDACTED] (store manager) and asked if he was in fact present last evening when the incident happened. He said he was. He also stated that he had told the actual owner of the facility of the incident and that he was going to replace the seat. He also stated that the seat said for in

After washing hands in [REDACTED] bathroom, I attempted to dry my wet hands using hand dryer made by World Dryer Corp "Slim Dry". Immediately after dryer started, it exploded sending long sparks and small debris out of the nozzle area downward to the floor. The sparks and debris hit my hands leaving my hands stung from the force of the debris and covered in soot. Fortunately I was not touching the dryer. I believe I would have been electrocuted had I not been wearing rubber soled tennis shoes and careful to not touch the hand dryer.

*MY ARM COULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED OR SEVERED - THIS IS NO JOKE! * Sat 6/22/19 ~10:00 AM CDT Walmart in Fenton, MO 63026, is testing an unsafe package pickup tower made in Finland that CRUSHED MY PACKAGE and would not let it go. There was no safety release mechanism after I failed to remove the package during the 10 seconds or so it took to take these pix. I wedged the box, thinking the robotic door would retract - it didn't. Instead, the door kept trying to close, pushing down without raising up, crushing the package over and over while the display said, "Remove object blocking door." - with no way to do so. *MY ARM COULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED OR SEVERED - THIS IS NO JOKE! * What if a curious child stuck a hand or a head inside (to see where the packages come from) and the door came down and caused decapitation? No employees knew how to open the machine and no one was strong enough to lift the robotic door. The machine has no instructions on it and store personnel had not been trained on it. Keep your children away from this dangerous device Walmart is testing nationwide that will also take away more human jobs. (Two Customer Service staffers were standing idle that Saturday morning with no customers to assist.) Sat 6/22/19 1:30 PM CDT Follow-up two hours after: A store manager phoned me to say that the robot's vendor came after I left the store and released the package. The contents had shifted away from the crushing door and were okay. He assured me that my package would be held at the Customer Service counter for me to pickup from a staffer after I refused to use the Package Tower. Walmart will give me a $10 gift card for my "inconvenience." Mon 6/24/19 10:00 AM CDT Follow-up two days after this incident: Went to pick up my crushed package at the Fenton, MO Walmart Customer Service desk only to be informed by a female clerk that the computer indicated that it had been put back into the Package Tower even though I was told it would be held

Early April 2021, I purchased an LED neon sign from Yellow Pop USA. hello@yellowpop.com . I found the general quality of the product poor (made in China) and the electrical power component supplied potentially dangerous to children, adults and pets. My concern about the safety issue was presented to two individuals at Yellow Pop and brought no results. I was told by both individuals (I have emails) that my issue of high voltage electrocution is of no concern as the LED power supply is "low voltage". Well the 120 volt AC power cord terminals (directly from the wall outlet) are completely exposed and the owners manual for the power supply (online power supply manufacturer) states specifically under "Hazards" that the component is to be mounted in an enclosure. Obviously the power supply manufacture understands this high voltage unit is to be shielded to avoid an electrocution hazard. Yellow pop scoffs at the concern and so far has refused restitution to me. I have photos of the power supply and a link to the power supply owners manual posted below. The power supply that came with the sign by Yellow Pop (to lay openly exposed on the floor or mount exposed on the wall) is a model LRS-150-12 at www.meanwell.com . The warning to shield this unit is on the Meanwell website. Since potentially thousands of these power supplies were supplied to U.S. customers for their LED signs, I believe this is a potential hazard that needs to be addressed due to the exposed high voltage wires creating a shock hazard. I emailed the Underwriters Laboratory May 7, 2021 and they informed me by telephone today, May 12, 2021 that this is a serious hazard issue and yes, that this power supply is designed to be covered and installed as part of a component. They also mentioned that my complaint is out of their jurisdiction however as the Yellow Pop product is not "UL Approved". They recommended that I contact Saferproducts.gov.

Georgia Pacific 2001 emotion paper towel dispenser had a stuck towel and continued to run till rollers created enough friction to start the paper towels on fire. Luckily an employee happened to smell it and was able to put out the fire in the trash can.
