Pier 1 Imports Recalls Tea Lights

If you’re trying to add to the ambiance of a romantic dinner, avoid glitter tea lights manufactured by Pier 1 Imports. The U.S. Product Safety Commission recalled about 40,000 of the tea lights due to the fire hazard posed by the glitter.

The products were made in Vietnam and distributed at Pier 1 Imports in the U.S. and Canada from September through December 2009. The company has received three reports of the glitter burning, although no injuries have been reported. The recalled silver lights have a SKU number of 2410335, and the recalled gold lights have a SKU of 2410322.

The company also recalled about 67,000 Santa ceramic tea light holders that also pose a fire hazard. Pier 1 has received three reports of the holders burning. If you purchased the holders between September and December 2009, discard them immediately. You can receive additional details by calling 800-245-4595.
