'Candlsense' electric candle warmers are being recalled by Provo Craft & Novelty. The internal heating element of the candle warmer can detach and melt the bottom of its plastic casing, which can in turn ignite or scorch the surface on which the candle warmer is placed, posing a fire hazard to consumers.
Provo Craft has received 11 reports of incidents in which the heating elements detached, including two fires and nine incidents of property scorching. One consumer reported a blistered finger.
This recall involves the Candlsense warmers with product codes ranging from YD0629 through YD0652 and YD0701 through YD0708. The candle warmers measure about 4 inches in diameter. The heating plate is black and the surrounding area is white plastic. 'Provo Craft & Novelty Candle Warmer Air Freshener Model: WCY-8888' and the product code are embossed on the underside of the warmer.
The items, made in China, were sold at Wal-Mart and other retailers nationwide from August 2006 through October 2007 for between $5 and $10.
Consumers should contact Provo Craft to receive a voucher worth 120 percent of the purchase price of the candle warmer. The voucher can be redeemed at www.creativexpress.com.
