Beeswax Rope Candle (SKU # 34-911)
Published February 18, 2005
Summary
CPSC records recall 05542, published February 18, 2005. Recalling firm: Zhongshan Zhongnam Candle Manufacturer Co., Ltd. of China; Reported units: About 2,000.
What's the hazard
The candle has a clamp (vise) that leads the end of the rope candle at the top. When clamped properly it is supposed to self-extinguish the candle when the burning wick meets the metal clamp (vise). The clamp (vise) does not always sever the wax close to the wick and does not always enable the wick to self-extinguish. This can lead to the flame continuing down into the coiled section of the candle, which can then ignite and cause fire damage.
What to do
The firm has designed a scissor-like attachment that fits on top of the clamp (vise). This cuts the wax from the sides and extinguishes the flame, preventing the candle from burning below the attachment and igniting the entire candle. The firm will either replace the candle with the new fitting, give store credit for the original cost of the rope candle or give a full refund.
