Far East Brokers and Consultants, Inc. Announces Safety Warning for 48,000 Jack 'O Lantern Bucket Candle Holders
On October 19, 2005, Far East Brokers and Consultants, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida announced a warning to consumers about 48,000 Jack 'O Lantern Bucket Candle Holders containing eight tea lights. The decoration is intended to be used with only one candle at a time and if all eight candles are ignited simultaneously, there is serious potential for the generation of too much heat and poses a fire hazard to consumers.
The firm has received three reports of fires when consumers lit the eight candles in the bottom of the bucket decoration. The reports include damage to carpets and a table, other minor property damage and one case with a second-degree burn.
The Jack 'O Lantern buckets are tea light candleholders sold in three colors: orange, cream and black. The buckets are about 6.25 inches high and about 7 inches in diameter at the top. They have item number 14609-00 or 14609-02 written on a sticker located on the bottom of the buckets.
Grocery and discount stores nationwide have been selling these Halloween decorations beginning in July 2005 for between $2 and $3 each.
Consumers with these decorations are urged to use only a single candle at a time. Also, be sure that the wick of the tea light is trimmed according to the instructions on the bottom of the bucket, and to follow all other burning instructions.
