Starbucks is recalling over 260,000 of its co-branded Bodum Recycled Coffee Presses because of possible injury risk.
The plunger knob of the press can possibly break off and expose the metal rod, which poses a laceration risk, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in its recall message.
There have been eight reports of injuries in the U.S. from the knob breaking off, resulting in cuts or puncture injuries, and one report in Canada.
The recall covers around 230,000 presses in the U.S., and about 33,200 sold in Canada.
