CHICAGO (CBS)--Starbucks has recalled a french press machine due to a laceration hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Wednesday.
The recalled french press is called the Bodum + Starbucks Recycled Coffee Press.
The eight-cup French coffee press has a plunger's knob that can break off and puncture the skin. Starbucks has received eight reports of the plunger's knob breaking in the U.S. and one report of the plunger's knob breaking in Canada, resulting in lacerations or puncture injuries.
