Plain-English summary

IKEA Home Furnishings is recalling approximately 110,000 PARODI glass floor vases sold in the United States due to a laceration hazard. The base of these vases can break off unexpectedly, which poses a risk of cuts to consumers. IKEA has received 18 reports of the vases breaking, resulting in seven reports of injury.

The recalled vases have thick black, white, or clear glass walls, stand about 28 inches high, and weigh about 11 pounds. The base diameter is about 6 inches, and the top diameter is about 9 inches. The IKEA logo and one of three article numbers are printed on the underside of the base: 201-102-34 (black), 501-121-99 (white), and 000-795-45 (clear). The vases were sold exclusively at IKEA stores nationwide from April 2004 through December 2006 for about $40.

To avoid the risk of breakage and possible injury, consumers should handle the vases with care. Consumers should return the vase to their local IKEA store for a full refund. For additional information, contact IKEA at (888) 966-4532 anytime, or visit the firm's Web site at www.ikea-usa.com.
