WASHINGTON – A Texas company is recalling about 727,000 candles because the gel used in them can catch fire and create dangerously high flames, the government said Monday.
Nature’s Finest Candles of Marble Falls has received four reports of the surface layer of gel burning into high flames, and at least two consumers burnt their hands, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The Nature’s Finest Gel Candles are sold in various colors and scents and come in 5.5-ounce and 11-ounce glass containers. The recall covers UPC codes 3863300100 through 3863300114 and 3863300200 through 3863300214, located on a sticker on the bottom.
Drug and grocery stores nationwide sold them from June 2001 to February 2005 for $8 to $11.
Consumers are urged to stop using the candles and contact Nature’s Finest for a refund by visiting www.naturesfinestcandles.com or calling (800) 964-6804, weekdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
