Silver Square Tealight Candle Holder
Product description
The metal tealight candle holder measures 18 cm x 18 cm (7" x 7") and has a silver metallic top with a black base. It has nine square openings for use with tealight candles. The product's SKU number 2174941 can be located on the bottom of the base.
Hazard identified
The spacing of the holes in a concentrated pattern allows the holder to heat-up. This can cause the tealights to burn unexpectedly fast and with a higher flame height than normal, posing a fire hazard.
Pier 1 Imports has received seven reports of high flames. No injuries have been reported.

About 775 units.
