Global Gift Industries Offers Free Martha Stewart Everyday Candle Replacement

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the Kmart and Global Gift Industries, has announced a voluntary recall of the Martha Stewart Everyday "sunny meadow" four-piece sanded votive candle sets. Consumers are instructed to stop using the recalled products immediately. Kmart and Global Gift Industries explained the "sunny meadow" four-piece sanded votive candle sets can have a high flame, posing a risk of burn injuries to consumers.

Kmart reported that it has received one account of a high flame, but no reports of injuries so far. The scented, flowerpot-shaped candles are approximately 2.5" high and have a sand coating and were sold in two different four-piece sets. The recalled candle sets were sold at Kmart stores nationwide between April 2004 and January 2005. Consumers can contact the manufacturer, Global Gift Industries, to request a free replacement product. Consumers can also return the candles to any Kmart store for a full refund.
