York Training Bumper Plates have needle like metal thing- buyers be aware

[yorkbbplates]

bought 260 LB York training bumper plates yesterday (July 2nd). One of the 45 lb plates cut my hand. I looked closed it has a needle like thing on the edge. It is really sharp. Attached are the photos. I will keep the plate as evidence.



Good Job York!!

If you have a problem with a company's products, take it up with them. I'm honestly not interested in your problem if you haven't given the manufacturer an opportunity to fix it.

so much this. you seem like the type or person who will spend a lot of time setting up new accounts and hitting up every seller of this product to leave a negative review, but i wonder if you'll actually talk to York.

probably won't even return to this site to read what people say.

Yep. Just contact them or possibly the vendor you bought them from. I'm sure they'll give you some consideration.

It seems to be an isolated incident. If they don't resolve your issue, then just grab the thing with a pair of needle nose pliers and pull it out. I cant tell from the picture,
but maybe it's a broken staple from the cardboard box it was shipped in.

You're wasting your time. This douche bag isn't looking for a resolution. He's simply looking to bad-mouth York and stir up ****.

Take note of the highlighted portion of his other post...

Clearly they are too dangerous to use, send them to me I'll handle this situation for you.

That's what you get for not buying Eleiko or Ivanko ......

But in all seriousness, why haven't you contacted the company before posting? Like the other have mentioned if you bought new from them, they should help you with the problem, I doubt they are looking for a negative review....

^^ Why didn't he just pull the piece out, put a band aid on his wittle boo boo and STFU about it?

Because he's got PTSD from encountering that staple, and now he's busy applying for lifetime disability pay.

[Domicron]

we should be thanking him, really...

his ability to type out multiple posts trashing York with such a gruesome, debilitating injury...

[AttyGuy]

Does he write for the NY Post? Don't give him an AR-15. . . .

Whether he pulls the scratchy piece out of the plate or not is really a moot point, as he's highly unlikely to actually use the damn things anyway. If a little scratch is enough to keep him from using his new plates, he's not the type to stick with a program and would just wind up listing them on CL in a few months. His pitiful little mini-rants are about as much effort as anyone can expect from him.
