Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Urban Outfitters has recalled about 5,300 Swirled Taper and Sofia Taper Candle Holders because the resin material can catch fire if it comes into contact with the candle flame. The firm has received 11 reports of these candle holders catching fire, including one report of property damage. The affected products were sold in various colors including Amber, Green, Moss, Lavender, and Peach at Urban Outfitters stores and online between February 2020 and October 2020. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them for a full refund.

Risk

The candle holders are made of a resin that is flammable; if the candle flame reaches the holder, the holder itself can ignite, creating a fire hazard. There have already been 11 reports of the holders catching fire and one instance of property damage.
