Hallmark Specialty Retail Marketing Group Inc., of Kansas
City, Mo., operating under the name Hallmark Creations, is voluntarily
recalling about 1,300 metal and plastic tea light lamps. The plastic shade that
covers the tea light candle can melt, posing a fire hazard. Hallmark has
received three reports of the lampshade melting. No injuries have been
reported.
The lamp has a clear plastic lampshade that covers a base for holding candles.
A dark brown curved S-shaped support wire that is decorated with leaves
supports the lampshade. The recalled lamp is about 12-inches tall and 4-inches
in diameter. The labels on the bottom of the base read "Creations"
and "MADE IN TAIWAN." Hallmark Creations stores nationwide sold these
lamps from January 2001 through May 2001 for about $12.
Consumers should stop using the lamps immediately and return them to a
Hallmark Creations store for a refund. For more information, call Hallmark
toll-free at (800) 425-5627 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
