CPSC, TechnoBrands Inc. Announce Recall of Rope Candles
Fire
The hazard
The candle has a clamp that is used to extinguish the candle. The clamp does not always sever the wax close to the wick and extinguish the candle as intended. This can allow the flame to continue down into the coiled section of the candle and ignite the entire candle.
Incidents reported: TechnoBrands Inc. has received two reports of the candle continuing to burn past the point where it is supposed to extinguish. TechnoBrands, Inc. has received no reports of property damage or injury.
What to do now
Consumers should contact TechnoBrands Inc. to get information on receiving a full refund.
Contact: For more information, call TechnoBrands Inc. at (866) 660-7150 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
