About 167,000 glass doorknobs sold under the Defender Security, Gate-House, and Reliabilt brands are being recalled because they can crack and separate from the handle assembly. Prime-Line has received five reports of these glass doorknobs breaking and causing laceration injuries that required stitches. The products feature fluted glass knobs and were sold in various finishes, including bronze, brass, satin nickel, matte black, and chrome. Consumers should immediately stop using these doorknobs and contact Prime-Line for instructions on how to receive a full refund.
The glass portion of the doorknob can unexpectedly break or detach from the metal assembly, creating sharp edges that pose a serious laceration risk to anyone attempting to turn the knob. Five individuals have already reported injuries requiring stitches due to this defect.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled doorknobs and contact Prime-Line for instructions on how to receive a full refund.
