Lumetique Recalls DayNa Decker Botanika Candles Due to Fire and Laceration Hazards

Lumetique is recalling specific DayNa Decker Botanika candles because the glass containers can crack and flames can flare up, posing fire, burn, and laceration risks.

What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (fire and laceration) where the source explicitly states that no injuries or property damage have been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Lumetique Inc. is recalling approximately 6,000 DayNa Decker Botanika brand candles sold in 3-, 6-, and 16-ounce glass containers. The recall includes candles with the words "DayNa Decker" and specific names such as Bacara, Bardou, Clementine, Indigo, Leila, Manzanita, Sierra, Taiga, Violetta, Viva, Yasmin, or Zelia on the bottom of the green glass container. Only candles with batch codes 9J3, 9K1, 9L1, or 9L2 are included in the recall.

The company is recalling the products because the candle flame can unexpectedly flare up and the glass container can crack. This poses fire, burn, and laceration hazards to consumers. The firm has received five reports of the glass breaking and six reports of high flames, but no injuries or property damage have been reported.

These candles were sold at resorts, spas, gift shops, and specialty stores nationwide from November 2009 through January 2010 for between $30 and $75, depending on the size. Consumers should immediately stop using the candle and contact Lumetique to receive a full credit toward the purchase of a DayNa Decker brand product. For additional information, consumers can contact Lumetique toll-free at (888) 872-0228 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.daynadecker.com.
