Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and DesignPac Inc. of Northlake, Ill., are recalling approximately 37,200 Vintage Rose Oil Lamps. The recalled products include two styles: a clear, heart-shaped glass container called "The Vintage Rose Oil Lamp" and a clear, doorknob-shaped glass container with heart-shaped beads called "Love Potion Oil Lamp." Both lamps feature an insertable wick with a glass wick holder that sits on top of the glass container.

The recall was issued because the glass wick holder can shatter when the lamp is lit, which poses a fire hazard. There is one report of the glass wick holder shattering, but no injuries have been reported. The lamps were manufactured in China and sold exclusively in Target stores nationwide from December 2002 through February 2003 for about $7 each.

Consumers should stop using the lamps immediately and return them to any Target store nationwide for a refund. Consumers can also call Target toll-free at (800) 440-0680 between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.target.com for more information.
