Cost Plus World Market Recalls Bleeding Drip Taper Candles Due to Fire Hazard

Agency Publication Date: February 21, 2018

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Cost Plus World Market is recalling approximately 8,400 bleeding drip taper candles because the flame can reach a height that ignites the surface of the wax. This creates a fire hazard, and the firm has already received two incident reports, including one instance of a candle catching on fire. These 10-inch unscented black candles, which bleed red wax as they melt, were sold in packs of two between August 2017 and October 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these candles and return them to any World Market location for a full refund.

Risk

The candles can produce an excessively high flame that sets the entire top surface of the wax on fire, rather than just the wick, posing a significant fire risk to the surrounding area.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your candle packaging for 'Bleeding Drip Taper Candles' and SKU/UPC 544668 or 000000544668.
  2. Identify the product by its appearance: black taper candles that measure about 10 inches long and are designed to drip red wax as they burn.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled candles and ensure they are extinguished and cooled.
  4. Return the affected candles to any Cost Plus World Market or World Market store to receive a full refund of the purchase price.
