Bought a beurer designer glass scale GS44, from Bed Bath and Beyond in Westland Michigan on Sept 3, 2011. The scale not even 24 hours old. I put the scale on the floor between the toilet and the counter. I pulled it out and weighed myself and then pushed the scale back between the toilet and the counter, it caught the corner of the glass ( one big piece you stand on) and nicked the toilet. Once the corner nicked the toilet the glass exploded. I was standing in shattered glass which covered my bathroom floor and rugs. This resulted in a cut to my finger. I was in a sea of glass no exaggeration either, so my husband went to get my slippers so that I could move. Nothing you stand on should be a type of glass that shatters. What if a small child did this. Thankfully I only weigh 117 pounds!

I went to pick up my Wexford Bathroom Scale that was purchased at a Walgreens a few months ago and it literally shattered in my hands. It didnt hit anything or drop or bump into anything. It just shattered in my hands.

Taylor glass top scale. Wife was in the bathroom doing makeup, heard a very loud pop, and turned around to see glass all over the floor. It broke into hundreds of small pieces. She screamed and I came in, and we watched the glass continue to break down into smaller pieces for the next 3-4 minutes.

I had a glass bathroom body weight scale. Out of no where the scale exploded. Had I or any of my family been near it not even standing in it we would be dead.

A Whithings Body scale was shipped to me through Betr Health as part of a weight loss and type 2 diabetes program processed through my health insurance company. When the scale was received, I placed it next to my existing scale in my master bedroom. I had the Withings for less than a week. On the morning of 5/11/2021, I walked past the scales and in doing so stubbed my baby toe against the Withings Body scale. This action caused its corner to get pushed into my scale. The Withings Body scale glass shattered on impact sending glass chunks and shards everywhere on my bathroom floor. I got a little piece of glass in my foot, but was able to immediately remove it. I am still finding glass pieces and fear one will end up in mine or my husband's feet in the future. I searched online and found others who had this issue where the impact was also extremely minor. My existing scale has a glass top and gets bumped around a lot with no issues. Also, it was not impacted by the Withings Body scale hitting it. By design, I feel a scale should be able to withstand various impacts, pressures and weights. However, the Withings Body scale couldn't withstand a very minor impact. Broken glass in bathrooms is dangerous. I reported the issue to Betr Health and was told floor scales should be put up after every use to prevent damage. I feel that is a ridiculous suggestion. I contacted Withings and they simply said that the damage is not covered under warranty but they will offer a 25% discount. There was no consideration of the safety issue, no investigation or recall.

Last night, between midnight and 1am, I was awakened by the sound of something shattering. I went looking for what could have caused the sound, and found my scale broken. It had spontaneously broken/exploded. There was glass all over the bathroom floor. The scale had not been dropped (I was asleep).

I wish to notify CPSC of an injury that I suffered from one of its products. Walmart sells a "Luggage Scale" (product number: 063312582864) that suddently fractured when I used it. The device consists of a small scale that connects to a spring and luggage hook that are very poorly engineered. Today (2/19/22) the device fractured upon my first use of it. The plastic body of the scale broke away from the spring/hook assembly, ejecting the scale upward. It struck and injured my mouth. This incident could have been disastrous if the scale had struck my eye. Walmart's packaging for the device states "Holds up to 80 pounds". This is false, since at the time that the device fractured and I was hit by it, it was lifting a 54 pound suitcase. I ask CPSC to initiate in inquiry into this matter with Walmart and its importer/distributor. This product is a hazard to the public. The luggage scale is made in China, according to its packaging. I can supply photos if desired.

The Greater Goods digital scale recall of 30 January 2025 does not include model number 0475, even though this model clearly includes an unsecured button battery cover. They claim my scale is not impacted by the recall. I disagree.
