Schottenstein
and Value City Department Stores, of Columbus, Ohio, are voluntarily recalling
about 10,800 candles. The candle flame can ignite the silver paint coating on
the candle container, presenting a fire hazard.
The candles were sold in two different size terracotta
ceramic containers. One container has a vase-shape, leaf design and a silver
paint coating and measures about 3.5 inches high. The other container has a
jar-shape, rope design around the top of the container with a silver paint
coating and measures about 2 inches high. Schottenstein and Value City Stores
nationwide sold the candles from October 2000 through December 2000 for about
$1.
Consumers should stop using the recalled candles immediately and contact
Schottenstein or Value City Stores at (888) 278-6370 anytime to receive a
refund and a $5 off coupon for use at Schottenstein or Value City Stores.
