A:
Your landlord can be liable if it knew or had reason to know of a dangerous condition of the property. If the knob broke without warning, your landlord isn't liable.
The manufacturer and seller of the knob can be liable, but that will probably be very difficult to determine, unless there is some kind of stamp on the knob.
A: Also, this post is materially different that your first description of the injury. No one can give you accurate information if the story changes.
