Product
Candles - Star Lytes ‘Rose Garden’ Scented candle
Brand
Star Lytes
Type / model
Rose Garden Scent
Description
113g/4oz Rose Garden scented candle (pink) in a dimpled glass jar, contained within cardboard packaging.
Risk
The product poses a risk of fire because: - secondary ignition may occur in the candle as a result of a secondary wick being formed after carbon debris accumulates in the wax pool. This is a significant safety hazard as the candle is no longer under control. This secondary ignition causes the side and base of the container to overheat which could result in personal injury i.e. burns, - secondary ignition can also be caused as a result of the glass shattering, the spreading of fire to surrounding items by virtue of an enlarged flame height, wax spillage as a result of shattering – all of which constitute safety hazards.
Measures
  • Voluntary withdrawal from the market and recall from consumers by the importer
