What was recalled

The recalled candle holders are constructed of unfinished wood and are designed to be painted or decorated. The candle holders, which are intended to support taper candles, come in five different shapes and sizes.

Hazard

When the candle burns down to the bottom of the wick, it can set the candle holder on fire, which poses fire and burn hazards to consumers.

Injuries

Darice Inc. has not received any reports of incidents. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.

Where it was sold

  • The Darice wholesale catalog, independent craft stores nationwide, including Pat Catan's Craft Centers and Ben Franklin Crafts, and Wal-Mart Stores, sold the candle holders, from October 2000 through November 2001, for about $2.
