Three people killed by foot massage machines
A company that manufactures foot massage machines has issued a warning to customers after three people accidentally killed themselves while attempting to use the machine on their neck/shoulders:
In the most recent case, a woman removed the cloth cover of the machine and ended up strangling herself when her shirt collar was caught in its massage rollers. The other two deaths also seem to have occurred in a similar manner. No recall of the product has been issued, but the manufacturer thought it would be a good idea to issue a public warning.
