Dillard's Recalls Pine Tree Candles Due to Fire Hazard

Dillard's is recalling Pine Tree Candles because they can collapse and ignite decorative materials, posing a fire risk. No injuries or property damage have been reported.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fire hazard where the product can ignite decorative materials. Although one incident of flame spread was reported, the source explicitly states that no injuries or property damage occurred, fitting the criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Dillard's, Inc. is recalling approximately 12,000 Pine Tree Candles sold in Dillard's stores nationwide. The candles are shaped like pine trees and come in two sizes: tall (approximately 9 1/2 inches tall and 6 inches wide) and short (approximately 8 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide). Both sizes feature a label on the side reading "Noble Excellence." The tall candle has a sticker on the bottom reading "127CD109," while the short candle has a sticker reading "127CD108."

The recall is due to a fire hazard. The candles can collapse, causing the flame to spread and ignite decorative glitter and paint. Dillard's has received one report of a candle collapsing and spreading the flame, but no injuries or property damage were reported.

Consumers should stop using these candles immediately and return them to any Dillard's store for a full refund. The candles were sold from October 20, 2001, through December 12, 2001, for between $12 (short candle) and $15 (tall candle). For more information, consumers can call Dillard's at (800) 235-9660 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit www.dillards.com.
