Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180324-4DF5E-2147389034. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Dreamline Model # SHDR-1260728-01. Source model text: SHDR-6360600-01. Incident: I purchased a DreamLine Essence 56-in to 60-in W Frameless Chrome Sliding Shower Door from Lowes Item #834157 Model # SHDR-6360600-01 to be installed by my contractor. The contractor removed one of the glass doors from the shipping container box and was carrying it to the bathroom where it was to be installed, and the glass door shattered in his hands while he was carrying it. Fortunately, he was not injured as he was wearing protective gloves at the time and the door did not break into sharp shards. It broke into small pieces like safety glass, He did not bump or hit the glass prior to this. My concern is if the door had been installed, this could have happened while someone was in the shower or bath.
