Halloween House Tea Light Holder

Oct. 2, 2003

Pottery Barn is recalling the Halloween House Tea Light Holder. Using a plastic tealight in the turret may cause the tealight to flare up, presenting a fire hazard. Only metal tealight holders should be used.

The Halloween House is all black in color with wire-web windows, mesh rooftops and a brick-front exterior. The house is made of metal and measures 14.5 inches in height. The base of the house is a thin, flat piece of metal surrounded by a black wire metal fence. The house holds four tealights on the bottom floor and one inside the turret. "Made In China" is written on a sticker on the bottom of the house.

The units were sold at Pottery Barn retail stores nationwide from July 2003 through September 2003 for about $40.

Consumers should go to their Pottery Barn store with the purchase receipt, if available, to receive a complimentary set of metal tealights and a warning sticker to place on the item for future users that states: "Warning - Do not use plastic tealights. Use only with metal tealights."

Contact Pottery Barn for recorded information anytime at (888) 922-9245.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
