Plain-English summary
Aviv Judaica Imports Ltd. and Ahron's Judaica are recalling approximately 9,000 units of 44-count and 36-count Chanukah Oil Candles. The recalled products are packaged in red boxes labeled "Chanukah Oil Candles With Jelled Extra Virgin Olive Oil" and "Distributed by Ahron's Judaica Item # OCCL-25/44." The candles were manufactured in China and sold at Jewish specialty stores nationwide between November 2006 and December 2006 for between $15 and $25.
The recall is due to fire and burn hazards. The oil candles can become engulfed in flames, which may melt the plastic cups holding the candles in place. This allows hot wax to leak out, posing a risk of fire and burns to consumers. The companies have received eight reports of the candles igniting and the plastic melting, but no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candles. They should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Ahron's Judaica toll-free at (866) 669-1708 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday for instructions on how to obtain a refund.
