CPSC, TechnoBrands Inc. Announce Recall of Rope Candles

The rope candle is a 20-foot coiled beeswax candle that feeds up to a scissors-like clamp. The candle is lit above the clamp. The candle has an antique copper finish. It was sold under the name "Self-extinguishing Rope Candle.". Recalled by Zhongshan Zhongnam Candle Manufacturer Co., Ltd. of China. Units affected: About 2,000.

The candle has a clamp that is used to extinguish the candle. The clamp does not always sever the wax close to the wick and extinguish the candle as intended. This can allow the flame to continue down into the coiled section of the candle and ignite the entire candle.

Consumers should contact TechnoBrands Inc. to get information on receiving a full refund.
