Incident Overview

On April 27, 2026, a consumer installed drawer and cabinet door pulls purchased from Wayfair. Several days later, the consumer brushed against one of the pulls and sustained a cut that bled. The consumer reported that the edges on all of the pulls were very sharp, indicating a manufacturing defect present across the entire set.

According to the incident report filed with the CPSC SaferProducts database (Report ID 6018541), the injury required first aid administered by a non-medical professional. The consumer did not mention any prior issues with the product before the incident. The product was used as intended, and the consumer retained the pulls, which remain in their possession.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: Sharp edges on hardware can cause cuts and lacerations upon even light contact. The consumer's experience shows that brushing against the pull was sufficient to break the skin and cause bleeding, demonstrating a high risk of injury during normal use.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone who interacts with the pulls is at risk, including household members, guests, and especially children who may be more likely to accidentally brush against or grab the hardware. The pulls are installed at a height accessible to adults and older children.

Warning Signs: Consumers may notice rough or sharp edges when handling the pulls during installation or cleaning. The absence of visible defects does not guarantee safety, as sharp edges can be subtle and only felt upon contact.

Long-Term Risks: Repeated exposure to sharp edges could lead to multiple injuries, potential scarring, or infection if cuts are not properly cleaned and treated. The defect is present on all pulls, meaning every hardware piece in the set poses a risk.
