CPSC, Meijer Announce Recall of Three Tier Tealight Candleholder
PRODUCT: Candleholders - Meijer of Grand Rapids, MI, is voluntarily
recalling approximately 1,200 Three Tier Tealight Candle Holders. The
holders are constructed of metal and glass disks and are in the shape of
a vertical wave pattern. The tea light candles rest behind the glass
disks. The holders are purple and black, yellow and white or green and
white. Meijer stores located in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and
Illinois sold the candleholders from May 2002 through October 2002 for
about $7.99. They were manufactured in China.
PROBLEM: The middle candleholder is mounted directly below the top
candleholder, which can cause the top candle to overheat and flare. This
poses a fire hazard, which can result in a burn injury or property
damage.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES: There have been two incidents of candles flaring.
The incidents did not result in injury or property damage. Meijer is
recalling the candleholder to prevent injury or property damage.
WHAT TO DO: Consumers should stop using the candleholder immediately,
and return it to their local Meijer store for a refund. For more
information, contact Meijer at (866) 280-8419, 24 hours a day or on the
web at www.meijer.com.
