OXO 1269580

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20220412-35584-2147356904. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Product: OXO 1269580 (OXO Good Grips Bladed Meat Tenderizer, UPC 719812036953). Incident: Opened package, removed device (which had absolutely no markings other than company logo), and attempted to understand how it functioned. Later I found a tiny slip of paper about 1-1/2� square with small English typeface indicating a few hints). The device had a �lock� and �unlock� graphic, which was the only image other than their logo. When �locked� it shows the full lock picture (white lock against a black background), but the �unlock� mode doesn�t appear- only a sliver of red and a little of the lock picture- leading me to believe it was not unlocking. I flipped it upside down to try getting it loose, needing to place my thumbs on a clear piece (that I later learned was my only protection from severe injury) and that�s when I suddenly had both my thumbs pierced by an array of 50 incredibly sharp needles and I began massive bleeding all over my kitchen. I was in shock, and it happened so quickly and without warning.
