Plain-English summary

Pier 1 Imports is recalling decorative clear glass pumpkins with wooden stems due to a laceration hazard. The wooden stem on the top of the pumpkin can detach when the item is picked up by the stem. This causes the glass pumpkin base to fall and break, posing a risk of cuts to consumers.

Pier 1 Imports has received seven reports of the wooden stems detaching, resulting in lacerations. One of these incidents required stitches. The recalled pumpkins were sold in two sizes, small and medium, at Pier 1 Imports stores nationwide and online from June 2017 through November 2017. The small pumpkins sold for about $25 and the medium pumpkins for about $30. Approximately 16,600 units were sold in the U.S. and about 430 units were sold in Canada.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled decorative pumpkins. They should return the items to their nearest Pier 1 Imports store for a full refund or merchandise credit. Consumers can also contact Pier 1 Imports toll-free at 855-513-5140 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT seven days a week for more information.
