Lighting & Electrical Recalls

Hazard: The birch and bark surrounding the candles can ignite, posing a fire and burn hazard.

Hazard: The candles' wax can catch fire, causing a high flame. This can cause nearby combustibles to catch fire and result in burns to consumers.

Hazard: The lighters fail to meet federal safety standards because they lack child-resistant mechanisms. If young children gain access to these multi-purpose lighters, they can pose a fire hazard or burn risk.

Hazard: Some of these tea light candles from one production run can burn with a high flame, due to contamination.

Hazard: The candle has a clamp that is used to extinguish the candle. The clamp does not always sever the wax close to the wick and extinguish the candle as intended. This can allow the flame to continue down into the coiled section of the candle and ignite the entire candle.

Hazard: The gel used in these candles can catch fire, creating a high flame. This can result in nearby combustibles catching fire and in burns to consumers.

Hazard: The center of the candle has an unexpected high flame and the plastic petals could ignite, resulting in melting and dripping plastic. The ignited plastic could also spread to nearby combustibles and pose a fire hazard to consumers. The battery contained in the middle of candle could eventually explode.

Hazard: The cord of the light fixture can drip plasticizer fluid onto the light fixture, which can degrade the acrylic reflector, causing it to crack and fall. Falling pieces of acrylic can injure a person below the fixture.

Hazard: A component in the light fixture can leak fluid, which can degrade the acrylic lenses and reflectors, causing them to crack and fall. Falling pieces of acrylic can injure someone below the fixture.

Hazard: The glass shades can separate from the light fixture, posing a risk that a consumer could be cut by the broken glass if the shade were to fall and break.

Hazard: The birch, surrounding the candles, may ignite, posing a fire and burn hazard.

Hazard: The candle has a clamp (vise) that leads the end of the rope candle at the top. When clamped properly it is supposed to self-extinguish the candle when the burning wick meets the metal clamp (vise). The clamp (vise) does not always sever the wax close to the wick and does not always enable the wick to self-extinguish. This can lead to the flame continuing down into the coiled section of the candle, which can then ignite and cause fire damage.

Hazard: Due to a manufacturing defect in a component part, the light fixture could fall and strike a person beneath the light fixture. The fixture also poses a laceration risk if the lamp breaks.

Hazard: The lighters lack child-resistant mechanisms that meet federal safety standards. Young children could operate these lighters, which pose a fire hazard. Federal standards require multi-purpose lighters to have the same level of child-resistance as required in the safety standard for cigarette lighters. The child-resistant mechanism must operate safely, function for the expected life of the lighter, and not be easy to deactivate. The child-resistant mechanism also must automatically reset after each use.

Hazard: The hook or handle of the candleholder can overheat and break, causing the lit candle to fall out and pose a fire hazard.

Hazard: The lantern can overheat and melt or ignite, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

Hazard: Some of the bulbs have imploded or broken apart within the first several minutes after they are first illuminated. Broken glass particles pose a laceration hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The bulbs can overheat and spark, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The decorative metal rings on the ends of the lamp fixtures can detach. Consumers could suffer minor burns if they touch the hot rings.

Hazard: The base of the bulb is not flame-retardant, as required in the voluntary standard for this type of bulb. Electrical components in the bulb can overheat, posing a fire hazard.

Hazard: The dried apples and cinnamon in the candle can ignite, causing a flare up and breaking the glass, posing a fire hazard.

Hazard: Overheating around the socket (where the bulb fits into the light box) can result in melted plastic and smoke, posing a possible fire and burn hazard.

Hazard: The plastic housing on these units can detach, posing a shock hazard.

Hazard: The adapters may have an electrical wiring problem, posing a shock and fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The beads on these tea light candleholders can catch fire during use.

Hazard: The scented oil can drip, causing the nightlight base to crack or break, exposing electrical wire or metal parts inside the nightlight, thus causing a potential shock hazard. There is also a risk of cuts, if the nightlight breaks.

Hazard: Multiple metal plugs can be extended from the product at one time. Consumers touching an exposed plug, while the adaptor is inserted into an electric outlet, can receive an electric shock.

Hazard: A component in the light fixture can leak fluid, which can degrade the acrylic lenses and reflectors, causing them to crack and fall. Falling pieces of acrylic can injure someone below the fixture.

Hazard: These votive candles can burn with a high flame or irregular flame posing a fire hazard to consumers.

Hazard: The tie-downs, which secure the electrical wires to the mounting bracket, may come loose, causing the wire to touch the bulb and pose a fire hazard to consumers.
