Liberty Hardware Manufacturing Corporation recalled about 38,000 glass cabinet knobs after fielding reports that resulted in at least three lacerations.
According to an alert issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the glass stem of the Mercury Glass Cabinet Knobs and the Flower Glass Cabinet Knobs can break during use, posing a laceration hazard.
Details of the Recall
So far, the company has received 29 reports of the knobs breaking during use, resulting in injuries to at least three consumers. The recalled knobs were sold at Home Depot stores nationwide and at various online retailers including homedepot.com, wayfair.com, dlawlesshardware.com, and build.com from July 2016 through September 2021 for between $4 and $6 each.
The knobs are about two inches in diameter and in a flower-shaped design. The Mercury Glass Cabinet Knobs are painted on the inside to give the appearance of mercury glass and the Flower Glass Cabinet Knobs are a pink colored glass.
Consumers who have these products are home are advised to stop using the recalled glass cabinet knobs right away, remove them and contact Liberty Hardware to receive a full refund. Consumers may reach the company by calling 1-844-811-4541 or via email at [email protected].
Product Liability Issues
Product liability laws help consumers seek compensation for injuries they suffered as a result of dangerous and defective products. Injured victims in such cases would be well advised to contact an experienced product defect lawyer who will analyze all aspects of the case and help them seek compensation for the injuries, damages, and losses they have sustained. In such cases, in addition to the product manufacturer, other parties can be held liable including the retailer, distributor, designer, parts manufacturer, etc.
Suppose you have been injured due to a product that was defectively designed or manufactured. In that case, you may be able to seek compensation for damages including medical expenses, lost income, hospitalization, permanent injuries, disabilities, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
If you have a defective or recalled product at home, it would be in your best interest to get a free repair kit or to return the product to the point of purchase for a full refund. It is never worth it to take a chance with a faulty product.
