Plain-English summary

Pier 1 Imports, of Fort Worth, Texas, is recalling about 9,200 glass candleholders. The recalled product is a Giant Champagne Glass-Shaped Floating Candleholder that is approximately 17-1/4 inches high by 13 inches in diameter. The green candleholders were made in Spain and have a price sticker on the bottom reading "SKU#1884160." The items were sold through Pier 1 Imports retail stores and online nationwide from January 2002 through May 2002 for about $25.

The recall was initiated because the candleholder can unexpectedly shatter, which poses a risk of cuts to consumers. Pier 1 has received two reports of the glass candleholder shattering, but no injuries have been reported.

Because the firm is no longer in business, a recall remedy is no longer available. Consumers should discard the product. For more information, consumers can call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 301-595-7054).
