Plain-English summary
Tommy Bahama Group Inc. is recalling approximately 1,800 six-tin mini-candle travel sets due to a burn hazard. The recall involves candles with scents including pineapple paradise, pineapple cilantro, maui mango, coconut mango, hibiscus blossom, and caribbean breeze. The products are packaged in a beige carton with a matching sleeve reading "Tommy Bahama," "mini candle travel set," and "Set of 6 mini tins." The bronze-colored tins have various color labels listing the individual scents.
The hazard exists because the candle flame can spread from the wick to the wax, causing a larger than expected flame. This poses a risk of burns to consumers. Tommy Bahama has received two reports of candle flames extending to the wax area, but no injuries have been reported.
The recalled mini-candle travel sets were sold at Tommy Bahama retail stores nationwide and online at www.tommybahama.com from November 2010 through January 2011 for about $40. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candles and contact Tommy Bahama for a refund. Consumers can also return the mini-candle set to their nearest Tommy Bahama retail store. For additional information, consumers can contact the firm toll-free at (866) 986-8282 between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. PT Monday through Sunday, or visit www.tommybahama.com.
