What was recalled

The recalled potpourri simmering pots are six-sided, white ceramic, three-piece units measuring about 6 inches high. The base is the tea light candleholder.

A label on the bottom of the base reads, "MADE IN CHINA."

Hazard

Flames from the tea light candles inside these potpourri pots can flare out of the side ventilation holes, possibly causing burns to consumers.

Injuries

Candle-lite has received nine reports of tea lights overheating. One consumer received minor burns while attempting to extinguish a tea light.
