Midwest of Cannon Falls Inc., of Cannon Falls,
Minn., is voluntarily recalling about 2,000 novelty candles. When the duck-
shaped candle burns, the pooling of wax can ignite the paint on the duck,
posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.
The candles are 3 1/2 inches tall and are in the shape of a yellow duck sitting
on a green base. The duck has a blue ribbon around its neck, and has an orange
beak. A label on the bottom of the candle has the UPC code - 7 3849 38819 8 -
and says, "Made in China." Gift shops, drug stores, and florists
nationwide sold the candles from September 2000 through January 2001 for about
$2.
Consumers should stop using the candles immediately and return them to the
store where purchased for a refund. For more information, call Midwest of
Cannon Falls toll-free at (800) 776-2075 between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday
through Friday, or log on to the company's website at
