The Rund products come in three sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of people have complained about the glasses breaking causing injuries. None of the reported injures, however, were serious, according to an Ikea spokeswoman.<\/p>\n<p>A variation in the glass thickness is believed to have caused the breakages, according to an investigation by Ikea.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 1,562 Rund glasses of the 250,000 recalled were sold in Britain since October 2010. The glasses, however, were sold nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>As a  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sinklaw.com\/\">South Carolina personal injury lawyer<\/a> , I urge anyone with these glasses in their home to stop using them immediately and return them to Ikea stores for a full refund. If the fragile glasses break, glass pieces can be strewn about, causing danger to those in contact with the item. Ikea is the world&#8217;s largest furniture retailer. The Swedish company has a reputation for offering for offering solid and reliable products at affordable prices.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been seriously injured by a recalled product, contact a  <a
