Darice
Inc., of Strongsville, Ohio, is voluntarily recalling 60,000 wooden candleholders.
When the candle burns down to the bottom of the wick it can set the candleholder
on fire, which poses fire and burn hazards to consumers.
The recalled candleholders are constructed of unfinished wood and are designed
to be painted or decorated. The candleholders, which are intended to support taper
candles, come in five different shapes and sizes. The Darice wholesale catalog,
independent craft stores nationwide, including Pat Catan's Craft Centers and
Ben Franklin Crafts, and Wal- Mart Stores, sold the candleholders from October
2000 through November 2001 for about $2.
Consumers should stop using these candleholders immediately and call Darice
at (800) 321-1494 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday for a
full refund. For more information, consumers should visit the company's website
