Plain-English summary

Skylighter Inc. is recalling approximately 120 Musical Flower Birthday Candleholders. The product is a plastic lotus-shaped candleholder containing eight small candles and a battery that plays music. The recall is due to a fire hazard where the center flame is unexpectedly high and can ignite the plastic petals, causing them to melt and drip. The ignited plastic could spread to nearby combustibles. Additionally, the battery inside the center candle could eventually explode.

The candleholders were sold only on Skylighter's website in sets of two for about $6. There have been no reported incidents or injuries associated with this product.

Consumers should stop using these candleholders immediately. They can contact Skylighter at (540) 338-3877 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or via e-mail at [email protected], to obtain a refund.
