Pier 1 Imports Recalls Tealight Candle Holders Due to Fire Hazard
08209 · Recalled 2008-03-06 · CPSC page
Description
The metal Tealight Candle Holder measures 7" x 7" and has a silver metallic top with a black base. It has nine square openings for use with tealight candles. The product's SKU number 2174941 can be located on the bottom of the base.
Hazards
The spacing of the holes in a concentrated pattern allows the holder to heat up. This can cause the tealights to burn unexpectedly fast and with a higher flame height than normal, posing a fire hazard.
Reported injuries
Pier 1 Imports has received seven reports of high flames. No injuries have been reported.
Remedy
The firm is no longer in business. The remedy is no longer available. Discard the product.
