Neiman Marcus Recalls Pine Tree Candles Due to Fire Hazard

Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman are recalling Pine Tree Candles because they can collapse and spread flame, posing a fire risk.

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 a similar product collapsed and spread flame, but no injuries or property damage were reported for the recalled units, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.

Plain-English summary

The Neiman Marcus Group Inc. is recalling approximately 620 Pine Tree Candles sold at Neiman Marcus stores nationwide and Bergdorf Goodman stores in New York. The candles, which are shaped like pine trees and come in three colors and sizes, were sold from early Fall through December 21, 2001, for prices ranging from $12 to $26. The products were made in Italy.

The recall is being issued because the candles can collapse, causing the flame and hot wax to spread, which poses a fire hazard to consumers. One report was received by another retailer regarding a similar candle that collapsed and spread flame, but no injuries or property damage were reported. Neither Neiman Marcus nor Bergdorf Goodman stores have received reports of incidents or injuries involving these specific products.

Consumers should stop using these candles immediately and return them to any Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman store for a full refund. For more information, customers can call Neiman Marcus at (800) 634-6267.
