The Pottery Barn Outlet is recalling about 900 "Spooky Tree" Tea-Light Holders. The recalled candleholders could allow tea lights to have a high flame. This poses a fire hazard and risk of burn injuries to consumers.
This product was previously recalled by Pottery Barn on October 16, 2002.
Pottery Barn Outlet has received one report of a flare-up. There are no reported injuries. During the previous recall, there were 10 reports of candleholders flaring and one consumer reported receiving a minor burn from the candle wax.
The recalled candleholders are constructed of black wire and stand about 18 inches high. The tree branches hold six tea light candles in orange glass pots.
The items were sold at 13 Pottery Barn Outlet and Williams-Sonoma Marketplace Outlet stores nationwide from September 2005 through October 2005 for about $23.
Consumers should stop using the candleholders immediately and return them to the Pottery Barn Outlet store for a refund or exchange.
