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 fire hazard with no reported injuries or illnesses, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Division Sales Inc. of Itasca, Illinois, are voluntarily recalling 10,332 Santa Claus Candle Holders, Item 66539. These ceramic candle holders, which stand 5 1/2 inches tall and feature a red and white Santa figure holding a lantern, were sold at retail stores for $1.00. The product was manufactured in China.

The recall is due to a fire and burn hazard. The paint used on the candle holders is flammable and can ignite if the candle flame inside the holder flares up, if flames reach the paint through the star-shaped vent holes in the front and back, or if the paint is exposed to an outside source of flame. Once ignited, the flames from the paint can ignite nearby objects.

Consumers who have these Santa Claus Candle Holders should discontinue use immediately. They should return the product to the retail store where it was purchased to receive a full refund. For more information, consumers can call Division Sales toll-free at (800) 621-8134.
