Swan Creek is recalling about 715,000 loose votive candles.
The candles can burn with a high flame, posing a fire and
burn hazard, said the company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Swan Creek Candle has received about 89 reports of the loose
votive candles with high or erratic flames including four reports of minor
burns. The firm hasn’t received any reports of fire or property damage.
The recalled votive candles were sold loose, not in containers,
and were displayed in open trays or bins. The candles are 2-inches high and are
wider at the top measuring 1.75- inch diameter on top and 1.5-inch at the base.
The candles were sold in dozens of fragrance varieties and
colors. The votive candles weren’t individually labeled with any prices, model
numbers, names, date codes, or fragrance descriptions.
Manufactured in the United States, the candles were sold at Swan
Creek Candle company stores in Florida, Michigan, and Ohio; other small candle
shops nationwide; and on-line at www.swancreekcandle.com
from January 2012 through November 2012 for about $2.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled votive
candles and return them to any Swan Creek Candle company stores for a full
refund or a replacement poured votive candle in a votive glass, the company and
commission advise.
Consumers who purchased online at www.swancreekcandle.com can contact
Swan Creek Candle Co. to arrange a refund or replacement candle. Consumers who
purchased at other candle shops can return to the store where they purchased the
candles for a full refund.
