CPSC, TechnoBrands Inc. Announce Recall of Rope Candles
What was recalled
The rope candle is a 20-foot coiled beeswax candle that feeds up to a scissors-like clamp. The candle is lit above the clamp. The candle has an antique copper finish. It was sold under the name "Self-extinguishing Rope Candle."
Hazard
