I incurred injuries while using an OTTO yard waste cart. My husband and I were working outside our home together, I on the driveway side of a short 3’ foot high fence, he on the other side of the fence in the yard. Our OTTO yard waste container, distributed by Republic Services, is located on the side of our driveway by our 3’ foot high fence, the opening facing the fence so when on the yard side of the fence we can easily open it for debris, yet pull it easily on the driveway side out to the street to be emptied. I had pulled the yard waste cart only 3-4 feet away from where it usually sits by the fence to trim row of bushes it sits by on the side of the driveway, and after filling it three quarters of the way full, attempted to push it the short distance of 3-4 feet back to the fence so my husband could reach it to put his yard debris from the other side of the fence in the cart. Leaving the lid open, as it was only going a very short distance, I pushed the cart from the hinge side towards the fence. It went about a foot, and then something stopped one of the wheels, dipping the hinge side towards the ground, and my momentum now going forward quite heavily caused me to step on the lid, causing the cart to now pull me towards the cart as it fell to the ground. My forehead hit the open top edge of the cart, opposite the hinge side, causing a 4.5 cm long laceration and 9mm deep on my forehead and a small laceration on my right eyelid.

Trash can when propped up changing or placing a new bag can accidentally slam on your finger, arm or wrist with force

I depressed the foot pedal to open the trash can and my small toe became caught between the pedal and the bottom edge of the container. As I removed my foot, my small toe was severely lacerated by the bottom edge of the container. The bottom edge of the container is stainless steel and extremely sharp. It would seem that the bottom edge of the container, at least above the pedal, should have some kind of protection or barrier instead of just an exposed sharp edge. Product Link: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-11.9-Gallon-Semi-Round-Trash-Can/34400796 I have also reported this to Walmart. The Manufacturer, Better Homes and Gardens, does not have an online contact mechanism, however they do have an 800 number will call later.

Costco Item number 807890 EKO 80L / 21G Motion Sensor Trash Can. Recall #15-742 was taken care of, However now the battery compartment doors will not stay closed and as such the battery packs keep falling out. In the past we have had to stop our pets from eating them (this is due to the packs falling out when we change the garbage out.) The packs have fallen into the trash before and now when my child has taken the trash out one of the battery packs has fallen out and he did not notice it. We have looked all around for it and even emptied out all trash sacks and been unable to find it. My fear at this point is one of the pets got to it and may have eaten the batteries. A better locking system is needed to prevent smaller children and pets from eating the packs.

I have had nothing but trouble from the very beginning when I purchased this product. I can never get the trash bag out without a rip in the bag because it is poorly designed and have had to use TWO trash bags each time. The "collar" on the back which surrounds a hole, has NEVER stayed in place, and I have continually had to physically replace it. Today, on July 9, 2016, I was lifting the trash out of the bin and I was having difficulty, and the "collar" fell off and I didn't realize it, and was struggling with getting the trash out and I cut myself pretty bad on the sharp edges. I have been bleeding continuously for over two hours and am contemplating going to the doctor because it is so painful and will not stop! I went online to see if there were any other complaints and found I was NOT alone!!!!!!!!!! Anyone with the product should be AWARE, discontinue IMMEDIATE use, and be reimbursed! I have never seen a worse product in my life! I now I am painfully paying the price. This company has NO RIGHT to continue to sell this product! I bought this awhile ago, but still have the receipt as proof of purchase. All involved in this product line need to be warned!

While using his trashcan putting your hand inside of the hand [REDACTED] has caused myself and to my family members to be cut by the metal inside of the handle after repeated use the handle cover has broken and it's now exposed bare metal.

Eko USA Flat 1013-1015, R&F Profit Plaza No.76 Huangpu Avenue West Guangzhou 510623 CHINA, PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to inform you of a recent injury that occurred due to the use of your product (before the product recall). We bought an EKO Sensible Eco Living Motion Sensor Trash can in December. On July 4th, as i was emptying the trash into the bigger garbage can, the black plastic protective collar that protects the sharp exposed tin, became dislodged. Unaware to me, I continued to empty the garbage and proceeded to slice my left index finger (almost off). We visited the ER to receive 8-10 stitched in order to reattach the part of my finger that I lost. To resolve this problem, I would appreciate you covering the cost of our medical experience, as it was solely due to your product. Enclosed are copies of the medical bill that we received from the ER visit. I look forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem. You may contact me via mail to: [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Sincerely, [REDACTED]

The plastic handle popped off the side of the trash can. While struggling to remove a garbage bag from the can the handle came off and the metal sliced my hand like a razor blade.
