Plain-English summary

Bath Petals Inc. is recalling approximately 1,600 soy candles in the United States and 1,200 in Canada due to fire and laceration hazards. The candles are 7.5 oz. soy candles sold in four colors and scents: Australian Eucalyptus, California Rose Garden, French Alpine, and Thai Lemongrass Ginger. The words "Bath petals" and the specific scent name are printed on the glass candle holder. The following UPC codes are located on the bottom of the box: 6-10696-55269-3, 7-97734-03754-8, 7-97734-03755-5, and 7-97734-03758-6.

The hazard exists because the candles can burn with a high flame, causing excessive heat that poses a fire hazard. This heat and flame can cause the glass candle holder to shatter, creating a laceration hazard. The firm has received one report of a candle burning with a high flame and shattering the glass holder. No injuries or property damage were reported.

The candles were sold at TJ Maxx and Marshalls in the U.S. from February 2012 through April 2012, and at Homesense, Winners, and Marshalls in Canada in April 2012 for about $10. Consumers should stop using these candles immediately and contact Bath Petals for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact Bath Petals toll-free at (855) 772-7258 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.bathpetals.com.
