Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180514-90EFD-2147388001. Severity: Injury, Emergency Department Treatment Received. Matched catalog product: TROY-BILT TB180B. Incident: While using the TroyBilt TB180B to blow leaves off of my roof, the blower "exploded" in my hand. A hard plastic piece shot through the plastic housing and hit my hand, causing bruising, swelling, cuts and bleeding. I made a trip to the Emergency Room and had x-rays performed. They did not detect a break, but would not rule it out.
