See what Minnesota consumers complain about

Since 2011, 400 Minnesotans have filed public reports of products that they say have exploded, caught on fire, cut them or otherwise failed in an unsafe manner. The Consumer Product Safety Commission only investigates a small fraction of these reports, but gives the manufacturer or retailer a chance to respond. Browse the list of Minnesota-based complaints. The gray bar indicates the volume of complaints.
