Starbucks recalled its Bodum+Starbucks Recycled Coffee Presses from the United States and Canada on May 1 after finding that the presses pose a laceration hazard.

The recall warning, issued by both the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, says the plastic knob at the top of the French press may break when the user is pressing down on the coffee press plunger, which can expose the plunger’s metal rod and cause injury.
