Coldwater Creek is recalling about 43 snow globes, specifically the Reindeer and Vintage Charm models, because light refraction through the glass can cause nearby objects to singe or melt. The Reindeer model (style 13826) features two white reindeer and a wood-like base, while the Vintage Charm model (style 13660) features a silver snowman and base. One incident of property damage has been reported, though no injuries have occurred. These globes were sold at Coldwater Creek stores and online from October through December 2017 for approximately $40. Consumers should stop using the globes and return them for a full refund.
The glass globe can act as a lens, focusing sunlight or other light sources to a point that can singe or melt nearby materials like furniture or curtains. This concentrated heat creates a fire hazard, and one report of property damage has already been documented.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled snow globes and contact Coldwater Creek to return the product free of cost for a full refund. The firm is contacting all known purchasers directly.
