"Our consumer service department learned of this unfortunate accident reported on Facebook days ago and immediately contacted the author of the message to provide clarification.
In relation to the break, we inform that the Box Blindex is produced with tempered safety glass, following in full the current norm for the product (ABNT NBR 14207). It is worth remembering that the same standard foresees that the Bathroom Box be subjected to preventive maintenance once a year to preserve its operation and ensure the safety of the product. The vast majority of cases of breakage occur due to lack of preventive maintenance.
The tempered glass is about 5 times more resistant and, in the event of a break, produces small fragments that are rounder and less sharp than ordinary glass. For this reason, it is considered suitable for application in Bathroom Boxes.
Nevertheless, in order to further increase product safety and to significantly minimize the risk of injury breakage, Blindex launched the Blindex + Safety Box in 2015, equipped with a safety film that keeps the fragments together and safe in case of Breaking, allowing the user to open the door and safely exit the box.
