Apparently, it's called a SPIKE ..at least in Ireland:
..the following is from HERE
Defects are classified as
Critical, those that are hazardous to the user and those that make the container completely unusable.
Major, those that materially reduce the usability of the container or its contents
Minor, those that do not affect the usability of the container, but detract from its appearance or acceptability to the customer.
Critical Defects in Glass Bottles or Containers
Stuck Plug. A piece of glass, usually very sharp, projecting inwards just inside the neck bore
Overpress. Is a defect where a small ridge of glass has been formed on the sealing surface of the finish
Split. An open crack starting at the top of the finish and extending downward.
Check. A small, shallow surface crack, usually at the bore of the container
Freaks. Odd shapes and conditions that render the container completely unusable. Bent or cocked necks are a common defect of this type.
Poor Distribution. Thin shoulder, slug neck, choke neck, heavy bottom are terms used to describe the uneven distribution of glass.
Soft Blister. A thin blister, usually found on or near the sealing surface. It can however show up anywhere on the glass container.
Choked Bore. Here excess of glass has been distributed to the inside of the finish or opening
Cracks. Partial fractures, usually found in the heel area.
Pinhole. Any opening causing leakage. It occurs most often in bottles with pointed corners.
Filament. A hair-like string inside the bottle.
Spike. Spikes are glass projections inside the bottle.
Bird Swing. Is a glass thread joining the two walls of the container

So epackage and cyberdigger; I just thought that I would explain that the birdswing is created when the parison collapses enough so some point on two sides touches and then the final blow pulls them apart and stretches the swing of glass. A spike is caused in the Press and Blow process when the I-62 plunger is too hot and the glass sticks to the baffle valve or baffle cavity in the bottom of the jar and lifts a spike up internally off the bottom of a jar to a point.
The big problem both of these defects is the possibility of the product being put in the contents could break the swing or spike and be ingested by some customer. RED Matthews
