Summary

About 251,400 Glass Bubble Knobs sold exclusively at Cost Plus World Market and World Market stores are being recalled because they can break and expose sharp pieces of glass. There have been five reports of these knobs breaking, each resulting in cuts to the hands or fingers of consumers. The recalled knobs were sold in six colors (blue, amethyst, pink, green, smoke, and clear) and two sizes between October 2010 and April 2014.
