Plain-English summary
Candela Group is recalling Anthropologie tin candles due to fire and burn hazards. The recall involves approximately 225 units of tin candles sold in four specific fragrances: Amber Woods (Model #14987044), Black Lilac (Model #14987093), Figue Tree (Model #14987085), and Red Currant (Model #14987051). Candles sold after October 11, 2008, are not affected by this recall.
The hazard exists because the candle flames could flare up out of the tin container during the burning of the last half inch of wax. This flaring poses a risk of fire and burns to consumers. The source text states that no injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
These candles were sold exclusively at Anthropologie stores nationwide from September 2008 through October 2008 for about $20 each. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tin candles. To obtain a remedy, consumers should call Candela Group toll-free at (866) 961-9050 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to request a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope for returning the candle for a full refund.
