Christmas Candle Sets Recalled

December 20, 2007
Specialty Merchandise Corporation (SMC), of Simi Valley, Calif., is recalling about 13,000 Christmas candle sets.

The snowman candle could tip over and the exterior coating on both candles can ignite, posing a fire hazard.

This recall involves the 2-pieced Snowman and Christmas tree candle set. The snowman candle measures 6 and ¼ inches high and the Christmas tree candle measures 7 inches high.

The candles, made in China, were sold through SMC’s catalog from October 2003 through September 2007 for between $4 and $13.

Consumers should stop using the candles immediately and contact SMC to return the candle for a refund of the original purchase price.

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