Leawood, KS — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and DD Traders, doing business as Demdaco, have voluntarily recalled tea lights in Carruth Candleholder Collection sets for fire hazards the product poses to consumers. The CPSC announced the nationwide product recall on January 11, 2012.
The recall was issued after discovering that the tea light can burn at an excessive flame height, which poses a fire hazard to consumers.
“The recalled tea lights were sold as part of the Carruth Candleholder Collection sets. The Carruth candleholder sets are resin votive candle holders with a glass insert that holds a tea light. The stock number is printed on a label on the bottom of the candleholders. The tea lights are white. The following eight models and stock numbers are included in this recall: Butterfly, 17708; Smile, 17709; Sun, 17710; Roots of Love, 17711; Sunflower, 17712; Hummingbird, 17713; Bunny, 17714; Friendship, 17715,” the CPSC reported.
Consumers are advised to contact Demdaco for a free replacement tea light.
