Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Pier 1 Imports is recalling about 30,810 three-wick Halloween candles in 'Scary Black Cherry' and 'Death by Chocolate' scents because the high flames can ignite the wax surface. There have been seven reports of high flames, including one minor burn injury and one report of property damage. These candles were sold at Pier 1 Imports stores nationwide and online from June 2019 through October 2019. Consumers should immediately stop using the candles and follow specific disposal instructions to ensure they cannot be used by others.

Risk

The candles produce excessively high flames that can ignite the entire surface of the wax, creating a fire hazard and a risk of burn injuries to anyone nearby.

What You Should Do

  2. Stop using the recalled candles immediately.
  3. Carefully cut all three wicks as short as possible to prevent anyone else from being able to light or use the candle.
