Pier 1 Imports Tealight Candle Holders
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The spacing of the holes in a concentrated pattern allows the holder to heat up. This can cause the tealights to burn unexpectedly fast and with a higher flame height than normal, posing a fire hazard.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
