Incident Overview

According to a report filed with the CPSC SaferProducts.gov database (Report ID 5948419), a consumer's newly installed Re-Bath USA shower glass doors shattered while children were entering the shower on November 8, 2026. The doors, installed by Re-Bath USA, broke under normal use conditions. Replacement doors were subsequently installed, but those also shattered in the same manner on March 17, 2026.

Both incidents involved the explosive shattering of the tempered glass sliding doors, sending shards across the shower area. The force of the breakage caused multiple lacerations to the hands and feet of three children and one adult. Two individuals required suturing and glass extraction, indicating significant injury. The consumer reported that the recurring incidents highlight a substantial safety issue with the product. The report notes that the doors were used as intended and under normal conditions.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: When tempered glass shatters explosively, it can produce sharp, dagger-like shards that cause deep lacerations. In this incident, fragments struck hands and feet, areas often unprotected during shower use, leading to injuries requiring suturing and glass removal.

Who Might Be Affected: Children are particularly vulnerable due to their smaller size and closer proximity to the glass doors when entering or exiting the shower. Bystanders, including adults assisting children, are also at risk of being struck by flying glass.

Warning Signs: While the report does not describe prior visible defects, repeated shattering of replacement doors suggests a systemic manufacturing issue. Consumers should be alert to any cracks, chips, or unusual sounds from tempered glass doors, although spontaneous shattering can occur without warning.

Environmental Triggers: Tempered glass can fail due to nickel sulfide inclusions, thermal stress, or edge damage during installation. Normal shower conditions—temperature changes and moisture—may exacerbate such weaknesses, though the report indicates the doors were used under normal conditions.

What Our Clients Say

What Consumers Should Do

Stop Using Immediately: If you own a Re-Bath USA shower door, stop using it until it can be inspected or replaced. The risk of explosive shattering poses a serious laceration hazard.
Preserve the Product: Do not discard any broken glass or door components. Keep all pieces, packaging, and installation records. These may be critical evidence for understanding the failure and for any future claims.
Document the Incident: Take photographs of the shattered glass, injuries, and the installation area. Write down the date, time, and circumstances of the incident. Save receipts and any correspondence with the manufacturer or installer.
Seek Medical Attention: If anyone is cut by shattered glass, seek prompt medical care. Even small lacerations can require professional cleaning and suturing to prevent infection and remove embedded glass fragments.
Contact the Manufacturer: Report the incident to ReBath, LLC directly. Ask whether there are any known issues or recalls affecting your model.
Report to the CPSC: File a report at SaferProducts.gov to help regulators identify patterns of dangerous defects. Include your incident report number if you have one.
