Godinger tree-shaped candle holders
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Godinger Silver Art Co. Ltd. is recalling approximately 31,000 tree-shaped candle holders sold nationwide between October and December 1996 for about $25. The silver-plated wire candle holders, which measure 14.5 inches high and 7.5 inches wide and are identified by style number 1731, contain small glass pots that can overheat and shatter during use.

Consumers who own these candle holders should immediately stop using them and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
