Gel Candles Recalled For The Second Time Due To Extra Injuries
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is re-releasing a product recall for dangerous candleholders. The holders were first recalled in February of 2007. But it seems that the warnings did not reach all consumers. Since then, several more incidences of high flame and one instance of burn injury to a user have been reported.
The candle marked as dangerous is called the “Everlasting Jelly candle.” It is a clear gelatinous substance that comes in a glass container. Some are shaped like champagne glasses while others are round shapes with everything from sand, shells, and hearts to roses, butterflies and penguins.
These products, which “can have excessive flame height” were sold nationwide in Spa at Home stores as well as online at Spaathome.com. Their retail price ranged from $9 to $50. If you suspect you own this product, stop using it immediately and visit the official recall or the Spa at Home website to learn more. You will be able to return the product so that no additional injuries occur.
