Consmer Product Safety Commission Issues Four Recall Alerts
Recalls include piggy banks, buggies and candle holders
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the following four recall alerts Thursday:
— Michaels Arts & Crafts Stores' Silver Tree Tealight Candle Holders. The 16-inch-tall candle holders, which are shaped like Christmas trees, are being recalled because the tealight cups are positioned in a way that makes it easy for them to ignite the rest of the display. Michaels reported it knows of five fires and one injury to a consumer related to the products. Next step, call: 800-642-4235.
— Oriental Trading Co.'s yellow, ceramic piggy banks and lion piggy banks, because the paint contains excessive amounts of lead. The banks are about 4 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 3.5 inches high. Only yellow banks with black plastic stoppers in the bottoms of the banks are part of the recall. Next step, call: 800-723-6155.
