Pier 1 Imports Recalls Golden Tea Lights

Pier 1 Imports is recalling about 400,000 golden tea lights sold in the United States and Canada. The flame from the tea lights can burn with a high flame, posing a fire hazard.

The firm has received four reports of high flames. In one of these incidents, the consumer suffered a minor burn.

This recall involves all tea lights in golden tin cups sold in sets of five with either the Red Ornament Tea Light Holder (SKU 2473959) or the White Ornament Tea Light Holder (SKU 2473961). The SKU number is found on the packaging.

Pier 1 Imports stores sold the tea lights from September 2010 through January 2011 for between $2 and $8. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tea lights and return them to their nearest Pier 1 Imports store to receive new tea lights.
