Cost Plus World Market is recalling approximately 7,000 Modular Storage Bars because the screws holding the mounting plates can pull out of the bar when weight is applied. This defect can cause the storage bar and any attached accessories to fall unexpectedly. The recall includes oak-finished storage bars sold in 36-inch (long) and 23.5-inch (short) sizes. About 7,000 units were sold nationwide at Cost Plus World Market stores and online from June 2014 through August 2014 for between $20 and $25. Consumers should immediately stop using these bars and return them to any Cost Plus World Market or World Market store for a free replacement.
When weight is applied to the bar, the mounting screws can detach from the medium-density fiberboard, causing the heavy bar and metal accessories to fall. One incident has been reported where a short bar pulled away from the wall, though no injuries have occurred yet.
Consumers should immediately stop using the storage bars and return them to any Cost Plus World Market or World Market store for a free replacement.
