C.R. Seasons LTD. is recalling approximately 47,100 hand-shaped, five-wick Bleeding Hand Halloween candles due to a fire hazard. The candles are hand-shaped wax with individual wicks in each of the five fingers. As the candles melt down to the palm, the five wicks burn together and may produce flames reaching 8 inches high, which presents a fire risk. The candles come in two colors—pink skin-toned or dark green—both with a red band around the wrist, stand 7 inches high, and were sold for about $4 in small gift, specialty, and drug stores in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, as well as at Caldor discount stores during Halloween 1995 and 1996. The company has received no reports of excess flames or injuries.
According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the Bleeding Hand candle and return it to the place of purchase for a refund of the purchase price. For more information, consumers can call C.R. Seasons LTD. at (800) 425-9889.
