CPSC, Island Soap & Candle Works Announce Recall of Candles
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Island Soap & Candle Works of Honolulu, Hawaii, is
voluntarily recalling about 29,000 candles. Pieces of the candles' wick

reported.
The recalled candles have a single wick surrounded by wax in a
brown coconut shell. They were sold in about 20 different scents and
ranged in sizes from "Mini" to "Large." The coconut shell has a label on
the bottom that reads "Island Soap & Candle Works...Hand made in
Hawaii...Do not leave a burning candle unattended." Some of the candles
have moon and star cutouts around the upper rim of the coconut shell.
Island Soap & Candle Works exclusively sold these candles in Oahu,
Maui, and Kauai, Hawaii and Monterey, California from April 2000 through
April 8, 2002 for between $8 and $15.
