Starbucks is recalling about 230,000 Bodum + Starbucks co-branded coffee presses because the plunger's knob can break during use. This exposes a sharp metal rod which has caused nine reports of lacerations and puncture injuries in the U.S. and Canada. The 8-cup French presses were sold at Starbucks stores and online between November 2016 and January 2019. Consumers should stop using the coffee press and contact Starbucks for a full refund in the form of a store credit.
The plastic knob on the plunger can snap off, exposing the underlying metal rod. This creates a sharp point that can cause cuts or puncture wounds to the user's hand during use.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled coffee presses and contact Starbucks for instructions on how to return the coffee press to receive a full refund in the form of a store credit. Returns will not be accepted in stores.
