. About 43,000 covered warmer dishes with rack, imported by Lenox Group Inc. and made in China and Indonesia, because flames from the tea candle can extend up the sides of the dish and a label on the bottom of the dish causes excessive smoke when exposed to the flame. This poses fire and burn hazards to consumers. The company has received eight reports of flames extending up the sides of the dish and smoking. No injuries have been reported. The product was sold at Lenox and department stores nationwide from October through December this year. For information, call 800-635-3669 or go to www.lenox.com/recall or www.cpsc.gov.
