Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240313-D4051-2147340401. Matched catalog product: Bissell 2252. Source model text: Model Number: 2252 / CleanView Swivel Upright. Incident: What Happened: I have used this new vacuum a few times now in the week or so I have had it, and I have to say I am concerned about the safety of this product. The product in its upright position can tip over very easily and present a safety hazard; the center of gravity is not engineered properly; also, when using the "flexible" hose, the hose is so stiff that to stretch it more than a foot beyond its "at rest" state will tip the vacuum over. I have tried to stretch the hose repeatedly to make the hose more flexible and it does not help.
