Plain-English summary
Alco Industries Inc. is recalling approximately 75,000 water fountains with candle holders. The recalled products feature a black base, two tiers of decorative rocks, and two tea candles set in black holders behind a painted glass cover. A sticker on the bottom of the fountain reads "Made in China," and the attached submersible pump is labeled "Jebo" and "Made in China."
