Government, Wal-Mart Recall Holiday Candles


Wal-Mart has joined with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to voluntarily recall nearly 50,000 holiday candles because the decorations on the candle can ignite.

The candles were sold at Wal-Mart locations between September 2004 and January 2005 under the name "Holiday Time" and manufactured by Dan Dee International of New Jersey. According to Wal-Mart, there have been six reported incidents of the candles catching fire, including two that resulted in property damage in the thousands of dollars.

Wal-Mart advised consumers that they should immediately stop using the candles and return them to Wal-Mart for a full refund.
