Aviv Judaica Imports and Ahron's Judaica Recall Chanukah Candles Due To Fire and Burn Hazards

Burn

The hazard

The oil candles can become engulfed in flames and melt the plastic cups holding the candles in place, allowing hot wax to leak out, which poses fire and burn hazards to consumers.

Incidents reported: Both firms have received eight reports of the candles igniting and the plastic melting. No injuries have been reported.

What to do now

Consumers should immediately stop using the candles and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact the firm for instructions on how to get a refund.

Contact: For additional information, call Ahron's Judaica toll-free at (866) 669-1708 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
