AtHome America Recalls Candles Due to Fire Hazard
08523 · Recalled 2007-12-11 · CPSC page
Description
The recall involves four-inch, square-shaped candles with four wicks. The candles were sold in three styles: the Earth Hue Toasted Nutmeg and Spice candle, the Holiday Hue candle, and the Golden Metallic candle.
Hazards
The candle's wicks are in close proximity, causing the candle to burn unevenly and faster than expected, posing a potential fire hazard.
Reported injuries
The firm has received one report of melted wax on a table. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the candles immediately and contact their AtHome consultant for a full refund. The company has sent direct notices to sales consultants and candle owners.
