Mini Candle Travel Sets by Tommy Bahama
Product description
This recall involves sets of six mini-candles, where each candle is in a bronze-coloured tin container. The candles have the following scents: pineapple paradise, pineapple cilantro, Maui mango, coconut mango, hibiscus blossom, and Carribean breeze.
The candles are packaged in a beige carton and the sleeve on the carton reads "Tommy Bahama", "mini candle travel set" and "set of 6 mini tins". The recalled sets can also be identified by SKU 101299, which is printed under the barcode on a label on the bottom of the packaging.
Hazard identified
The candle's flame can spread from the wick to the wax, causing a larger than expected flame. This poses a burn and fire hazard to consumers.
Tommy Bahama has received 2 reports in the United States of candle flames spreading to the wax, with no reported injuries.
Neither Health Canada nor Tommy Bahama has received reports of incidents or injuries in Canada related to the use of the recalled product.
