CPSC, Far East Brokers and Consultants, Inc. Announce Safety Warning for Jack 'O Lantern Bucket Candle Holders
What was recalled
The Jack 'O Lantern buckets are tea light candle holders, containing eight tea lights, sold in three colors: orange, cream and black. The buckets are about 6.25 inches high and about 7 inches in diameter at the top. They have item number 14609-00 or 14609-02 written on a sticker located on the bottom of the buckets.
Hazard
The Halloween decoration is intended for use with a single tea light candle. If all eight candles included with the unit are lit at the same time, it can generate too much heat and pose a fire hazard.
Injuries
The firm has received three reports of fires when consumers lit the eight candles in the bottom of the bucket decoration. The reports include damage to carpets and a table, other minor property damage and one second degree burn.
Where it was sold
- Grocery and discount stores nationwide, beginning in July 2005 for between $2 and $3.
