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 could ignite, which fits the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Continental Creations Inc. are recalling cat and dog menorahs. The recalled products feature cats or dogs sitting near candle cup holders and have a sticker on the base stating either "P1157" or "P1166". About 480 units were sold at specialty stores nationwide from July 2005 through August 2005 for about $20 each.

The recall is being issued because the cups holding the candles are not constructed of the correct material and could ignite, posing a fire hazard. The CPSC has not received any reports of injuries or illnesses associated with the use of these products.

Continental Creations Inc. is out of business, so a remedy is no longer available. Consumers should stop using these menorahs immediately and destroy or discard the product. For more information, consumers can call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 301-595-7054).
