Plain-English summary

Lenox Group Inc. is recalling about 43,000 covered ceramic warmer dishes with racks and tea light candles. The recall involves specific patterns including Holiday, Winter Greetings, Holiday Gatherings, Orchard & Bloom, Butler's Pantry, and Butterfly Meadow. A label on the bottom of the dish causes excessive smoke when exposed to the flame, and flames from the tea candle can extend up the sides of the dish.

The firm has received eight reports of flames extending up the sides of the dish and smoking. No injuries have been reported. These products were sold at Lenox and department stores nationwide from October 2007 through December 2007 for about $30.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled warming dish with rack and tea light. They should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact Lenox at (800) 635-3669 Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, or visit www.lenox.com/recall.
