Pier 1 Imports Recalls Glitter Tea Lights Due to Fire Hazard

Plain-English summary

Pier 1 Imports (U.S.), Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas, is recalling approximately 37,000 silver glitter tea lights and 3,000 gold glitter tea lights sold in the United States and Canada. The recall involves two specific styles: a clear box of 24 silver glitter tea lights with SKU 2410335 and a clear box of 24 gold glitter tea lights with SKU 2410322. The SKU number is located on the bottom of the packaging. These products were sold at Pier 1 Imports retail stores in the U.S. and Canada from September 2009 through December 2009 for about $10.

The hazard exists because the flame from the tea lights can ignite the glitter on the candle, posing a fire hazard. The firm has received three reports of the glitter burning, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the tea lights and return them to their nearest Pier 1 Imports retail store for a full refund or merchandise credit. For additional information, consumers can contact Pier 1 Imports at (800) 245-4595 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. CST Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.pier1.com.
