Dailey Bailey: 40% of People Have Been Injured By Hard-to-Open Packaging?

With all the strides we’ve made in technology, you’d think we’d have figured out how to avoid this by now.

According to a new survey, 40% of us have injured ourselves trying to get through hard-to-open packaging in the past two years.

Products that are encased in hard plastic are the most difficult to open, and cans are the most dangerous. And anything that requires you to peel away a specific piece of plastic . . . like on a CD . . . also causes problems.

89% of us have used scissors to open something . . . 66% have resorted to using a knife . . . 8% have used a box cutter . . . 6% used a screwdriver . . . and 2% have tried bashing through the packaging with a hammer.

It’s so frustrating that 19% of people say they actually avoid certain products because they’re too hard to open.
