Satellight Oil Candles
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Glass Dimensions is recalling approximately 1,082 Satellight Oil Candles sold nationwide between January and February 1994 due to a fire hazard. The candles are elliptical glass containers measuring 4 to 8 inches in diameter and less than 2 inches high, with either mirrored or clear bottoms and white wicks. The problem involves a clear support mechanism that fits flush against the eyelet holding the wick, which prevents air from entering the oil reservoir and may cause pressure buildup and fuel leakage. One fire has been reported from a faulty candle. The candles were sold through approximately 204 upscale retailers such as boutiques and specialty shops for $15 to $40.
According to the recall notice, affected consumers should stop using the candles immediately and either return the product to the store where it was purchased for a full refund or mail the defective candle to Glass Dimensions at 197 Western Ave., Essex, MA 01929, for a refund. Consumers can call Glass Dimensions at (508) 768-7984 for more information.
