Glitter Tea Lights Recalled

The Halton Hills Fire Protection and Prevention Services would like to advise residents of a recall of two types of Glitter Tea Lights, by Pier 1 Imports, Health Canada and the US Consumer Products Safety Commission.

The recall involves the following styles, Silver Glitter Tea Lights and Gold Glitter Tea Lights. The Silver Glitter Tea Lights come in a clear box of 24 and can be identified by the number SKU 2410335. The Gold Glitter Tea Lights also come in a box of 24 and is identified by SKU 2410322. The SKU number for both styles is located on the bottom of the packaging. Approximately 1875 boxes of the recalled lights were sold at Pier 1 Imports stores across Canada.

The flame from the identified tea lights can ignite the glitter on the candle, posing a fire hazard to the user. In the US, Pier 1 Imports has received three reports of the glitter burning. No injuries have been reported thus far. Two of the three reported incidents occurred in Canada.

If you have purchased any of the identified styles, the Halton Hills Fire Protection and Prevention Services is advising you to immediately discontinue use and return them to the nearest Pier 1 Imports Inc. Store. For more information residents can also contact Pier 1 Imports Inc. at 1-800-245-4595 between 8AM and 7PM Monday to Friday or, visit the Pier 1 website.

Candles can provide the perfect setting to that special occasion but, please be aware and alert, when you go-out , remember to blow-out.
