Sally Foster Recalls Tea Light Candles for Fire and Burn Hazard

Plain-English summary

Sally Foster, Inc. is recalling tea light candles sold with votive candle holders because the clear plastic shells can melt or ignite. This poses a fire or burn hazard to consumers. The company has received two reports of the plastic shells igniting, which caused minor property damage, but no injuries have been reported.

The recalled tea lights were sold as part of the three-piece Glass Candle Holders with Tea Lights Set, item number S106, in Sally Foster catalogs and on its website from July 2006 through December 2006 for about $15. Only the white tea light candles with clear plastic shells are affected. Products delivered after December 8, 2006, included tea lights with metal shells and are not included in this recall. The glass candle holders sold with these tea lights are not subject to the recall and consumers may continue to use them.

Consumers should immediately stop using the affected tea light candles and contact Sally Foster for a set of six free replacement tea light candles with metal shells. Consumers who purchased the item online will be directly notified by Sally Foster and will receive the free set of six replacement tea light candles. Consumers can call Sally Foster toll-free at (866) 723-0925 or visit www.sallyfoster.com.
