Plain-English summary
Pier 1 Imports is recalling approximately 10,800 hanging glass star lanterns sold in the United States and 550 in Canada. The lanterns, which are three-dimensional star shapes made of gold-toned metal and glass, were sold in amber, clear, and red colors. They were sold at Pier 1 Imports stores nationwide and online from August 2013 through February 2014 for between $16 and $20. The specific SKU numbers are 2717349 (amber), 2717351 (clear), and 2724169 (red), which are printed on the hang tag attached to the lantern.
The recall is due to a fire hazard. The solder welds on the lanterns can melt due to heat from a tea light candle placed inside the metal cup. This melting can cause the candle holder to break and expose the flame. Pier 1 Imports has received five reports of the solder melting, including one report of a lantern falling apart and burning a rug. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lanterns and return them to any Pier 1 Imports store for a full refund or store credit. For more information, consumers can contact Pier 1 Imports at (800) 245-4595 or visit www.Pier1.com.
