Crownplace Brands Recalls Aladdin Kerosene Lamp Burners Due to Burn and Fire Hazards

Crownplace Brands is recalling Aladdin MaxBrite kerosene lamp burners because the threads can disengage, posing burn and fire hazards.

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 burn hazard) where injury has been reported (one first-degree burn), but no serious injuries or deaths are documented, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Crownplace Brands is recalling approximately 500 Aladdin MaxBrite kerosene lamp burners. The solid brass burners measure about four inches tall and three inches in diameter, with a thread length of about 3/8 inches. The product is identified by the text "Aladdin MAXBrite500" on the knob and the patent number 3551086 on the barrel.

The recall is due to a defect where the burner's threads can disengage, allowing the burner to disconnect from the base. This failure poses burn and fire hazards to the user. The firm has received one report of thread failure that resulted in a first-degree burn.

The lamp burners were sold separately and as part of a lamp assembly at hardware and antique stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from July 2015 through July 2016 for between $100 and $400. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lamp burners and contact Crownplace Brands for a free replacement.
