Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Family Dollar is recalling about 32,000 ceramic wax warmer sets because they can produce unexpectedly high flames. The set includes a teacup-shaped ceramic warmer and four vanilla-scented wax cubes. Family Dollar has received 11 reports of high flames, which resulted in two burn injuries and three reports of property damage. Consumers should immediately stop using these warmers and return them to any Family Dollar store for a full refund.

Risk

The wax warmers can produce high flames when a tea light candle is used inside the ceramic base, posing a significant risk of fire and serious burn injuries to consumers and their property.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your ceramic wax warmer to see if it matches the recalled description: a teacup-shaped ceramic warmer with an opening for a tea light candle, colored either cream with gold trim or green with gold trim.
  2. Verify if the set included four vanilla-scented wax cubes for melting.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled wax warmer to prevent fire or burn injuries.
  4. Return the wax warmer to any Family Dollar store location to receive a full refund.
