CPSC, Kohl's Department Stores Announce Recall of Halloween
Ca ndleholders
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Kohl's Department Stores Inc., of Menomonee Falls,
Wis., is voluntarily recalling about 8,000 Halloween candleholders.
Flames from the tea-light candle can ignite the candleholder, posing a
fire hazard and risk of burn injuries to consumers.
Kohl's has received two reports of the candleholder igniting,
causing smoke and soot damage to surrounding property. No injuries have
been reported.
The recalled Halloween ghost candleholders are about 10- inches
tall and are made of acrylic. The ghosts are white and hold a small
orange pumpkin in which the tea-light candle sits. Two orange pumpkins
are painted along the hem of the ghost. The candleholders were made in
China.
Kohl's Department Stores sold the candleholders nationwide from
August 2002 through October 2002 for about $17.
Consumers should stop using the candleholders immediately and
return them to the store where purchased for a refund. For more
information, consumers can contact Kohl's toll-free at (800) 694-2647
between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CT Monday through Friday. Consumers can
