I'll bet you pop that logo off, you will find a set screw.

Popped it off with a box knife, and sure enough, a set screw under there. On my way to HD to see if I can find a different handle/knob.

Consequently you need to make sure there is a touch of clearance between the handle and the valve. I think I paid about $9.00 for it . Was a stock item at Home depot. Let me know how you make out.

Voila!!

Thanks so much, Jim Edwards and everyone who posted. No more accidental scaldings from bumping the old handle!  :) :)

Edit: for some reason, pictures taken with iPhone show up here turned to the side (the handle is actually pointing down)

Jim Edwards:
Hi, Great. Can you verify the part number in my previous post in case someone else asks? Thanks Jim

Jim,

The Home Depot Store SKU # 404344, that you posted is correct. The fellow at HD told me this # is universal for all HD stores.

P.S. While taking a shower this morning, I tested it by bumping it repeatedly, and was unable to accidentally, or on purpose, turn the handle to make the water hotter. Very satisfied.
