Dear David, It is good that you were not injured and the company's response suggests that they act responsibly and will fix the problem with their device. I find it troubling that so many people are so quick to consider law suits. I hope you will continue your path of not filing law suits and allow our legal system to deal with important issues that really warrant litigation - and allow business owners to continue to work hard to provide good products and services without fear of litigation. Kind Regards, Pady Jalali UpperMark, LLC.

Hi guys... My shredder exploded... no exaggeration. Flash, bang, acrid smoke, the works. The head jumped out of the basket and fell back down shattering it. Somehow there was no fire and my only issue seems to be ringing ears. Life is good. Somehow no fire or injuries. The company responded quickly to my email with an offer to examine the pyrotechnic device and give me a new one. Also good. Then someone suggested i consider having a product liability lawyer, who works on contingency, look at the situation and see if it's worth a law suit. I've never sued anyone and it's really not my style. I have not time or money to invest in that... AND... who knows, eh? Unlicensed pyrotechnics are not standard features in most shredders, to my knowledge. Suggestions? Referrals? Commiseration? Bad Jokes?
