A warning has been shared online after Kmart bathroom scales “exploded”.

The woman, wrote on Kmart Mums Australia, that her black digital scales recently “exploded sending glass everywhere”.

“I lightly nudged them and they exploded,” she wrote.

“Glass went everywhere. As I was cleaning up, the shards shattered into smaller and smaller pieces. Kmart has been notified.”

Many commented that she is not alone and they also suffered a similar experience.

Hope mine won’t ‘explode’. The consequences could easily be disastrous.

Aw wow, that’s scary ! I have a glass digital scale as well, can’t remember if it was from Kmart, but could well be.

It would have been quite a shock – hopefully they will investigate and make safety changes.

I remember this happening with a light fitting we had – it just shattered when slightly touched.

  You get what you pay for and considering how cheap and nasty K Mart is what do you expect.

    But then again is what the woman said what really happened? She “slightly” nudged it and it exploded? Or did she drop it and is now using a lame excuse to get her money back or another item for free?

I read this from the group too. So lucky that no kids were there in the room when it happened.
