Incident Overview

On May 5, 2026, a 4-year-old child was playing with a Black & Decker children's tool cart during normal use. As the child leaned forward over the toy, his chin made contact with the top edge of the cart. The plastic edge was not fully smooth and had a rough, unfinished section. This caused a significant skin injury: a skin tear and abrasion on the chin that removed the skin rather than lightly scraping it, leaving a raw area approximately two inches wide.

According to the incident report filed with CPSC SaferProducts.gov (Report ID 6034378), the injury occurred during intended use of the product. The parent reported the wound is currently healing but may leave a visible scar. The rough edge is a manufacturing defect that created an unexpected laceration hazard.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The unfinished plastic edge acts like a blade, capable of cutting or tearing skin upon contact. In this incident, the edge removed a layer of skin, creating a raw wound that required first aid and poses infection risk. The severity of the injury depends on the force of contact and the sharpness of the defect.

Long-Term Risks: Deep lacerations, especially on the face, can result in permanent scarring. The child in this case may have a visible scar from the injury. Additionally, if the rough edge is not smoothed, repeated contact could cause further injuries or aggravate existing wounds.

Who Might Be Affected: Children are the primary users of toy tool carts and are most at risk due to their size, activity level, and tendency to lean over or play near the cart's edges. Their skin is more delicate, making them more susceptible to lacerations from sharp or rough surfaces.

Warning Signs: Visible roughness or unfinished sections on plastic edges are warning signs of a potential laceration hazard. Parents should inspect children's toys for sharp edges, burrs, or rough spots before allowing use. If the edge feels rough to the touch, it may cause injury.

Inspect the Product: Carefully examine the entire toy, especially edges and seams, for any rough or unfinished plastic. If other areas appear defective, the product may have broader quality issues.

Preserve the Product: Do not modify or discard the toy. Keep it in its current condition as evidence in case of a future claim or investigation. Retain any packaging, receipts, or documentation.

Seek Medical Attention: If a laceration is deep, large, or on the face, consult a healthcare provider. The injury may require professional wound care, antibiotics, or follow-up for scarring.
