IKEA has voluntarily recalled more than 54,000 of its garlic presses because of potential laceration and ingestion risks, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall was issued on July 31. It applies to IKEA’s 365+ VÄRDEFULL garlic presses sold in stores nationwide and online between March 2024 and May 2025.
Approximately 43,830 garlic presses in the U.S. and an additional 10,700 sold in Canada are subject to the recall. Per the CPSC, “small metal pieces can detach from the garlic press, posing a laceration or ingestion hazard to consumers.”
The recalled garlic press has a black rubber handle and a zinc-coated garlic chamber. Only models with the IKEA logo are subject to the recall, the CPSC reported. The logo is located at the upper part of the handle.
At this time, IKEA said it received 10 incident reports globally, including three reports of lacerations and finger splinters. No incidents or injuries have been reported in the U.S.
The CPSC has advised consumers to stop using the recalled garlic press and return it to any IKEA store for a full refund. Proof of purchase, including a receipt, is not required to receive a full refund.
“If you are unable to return it to one of their stores, please contact IKEA for instructions on how to dispose of the recalled product to receive a full refund,” the agency added.
