Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260403-E3113-2147321024. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Product: Delta SDGS060-CLQ-R UPC C (Frameless frosted pattern Sliding Shower Door Glass Panels in Tranquility). Incident: I am submitting this report to document a dangerous incident involving a Delta sliding glass shower door that suddenly exploded without warning in my home. At about 11:00 PM EST, my baby and I were asleep when we were startled by a loud explosion coming from the bathroom. When I checked, I found that the Delta sliding glass shower door had shattered on its own. Glass shards were thrown everywhere across the bathroom and nearby area. This created a very dangerous situation and could have caused serious injury. The explosion was loud enough to terrify my baby, who woke up screaming. No one was touching or using the shower door at the time. There was no impact or misuse that would explain the glass breaking. It appeared to shatter on its own. This product poses a serious safety hazard, especially in homes with children. A shower door should not suddenly explode and scatter sharp tempered glass throughout the home. I am concerned this may be related to a manufacturing defect because there have been other reported incidents involving tempered glass shower doors shattering without warning. I am reporting this incident so it can be investigated and to help prevent this from happening to other families. I am also requesting that Delta address this dangerous issue and provide a replacement and proper remedy.
