Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Gardener's Supply Co. of Burlington, Vt., is recalling approximately 1,500 candle-powered carousels due to a fire hazard. The recalled carousels are made of yellow pine and stainless steel, measuring about 9 inches in diameter by 13 inches high. The candle holder placement on the base is too close to the structure, allowing the candle flame to come in contact with and ignite parts of the carousel, including the fans, trees, and deer.

The firm has received three reports of the carousels catching on fire. No injuries have been reported. The products were sold at Gardener's Supply retail stores in Burlington and Williston, Vt., and through the Gardener's Supply catalog distributed nationwide and on the internet from September 2008 through November 2008 for about $30.

Consumers should stop using the carousel immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. Consumers can also mail the product to Gardener's Supply Returns, 5 New England Drive, Essex Junction, VT 05452. For additional information, contact Gardener's Supply Co. at (800) 876-5520 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit www.gardeners.com.
