Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20150423-1DD8A-2147433488. Severity: Injury, Level of care not known. Matched catalog product: Shark Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away vacuum cleaner. Incident: I ordered a Shark upright vacuum cleaner from Amazon in November. It shocked me and anyone else who used it. I called Euro-pro and was made to feel very silly. The second time I called the gentleman was very understanding and asked me to not use it again. I ordered another one just like it and returned the defective one. The second one shocks me also. I have called Euro-pro too many times to count. I can never get through to a claims rep.
