CPSC, Endar Corp. Announce Recall of Candle Sets Sold in Wal-Mart Stores
What was recalled
The 9-Piece Harvest Centerpiece Collection candle set contains seven candles (three white pillars, two red apple shaped novelty candles, and two yellow leaf shaped novelty candles), potpourri and a round 12-inch copper color plate.
Hazard
The wax from the candles can drip and ignite the potpourri. Additionally, when the candles are in close proximity, they generate a significant amount of heat. Each of these hazards could lead to a fire, which could cause burn injuries to consumers.
Injuries
Wal-Mart has received no reports of incidents. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
Where it was sold
- Wal-Mart stores nationwide sold these candles, from September 1, 2001 through September 20, 2001, for about $10.
