Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of fire as testing indicates that the wick may ‘club,’ resulting in higher-than-expected flaming. This could lead to increased smoking, wax dripping, and flaming. If left unattended, the flare could ignite nearby objects and potentially cause a fire to spread throughout the room. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulation 2005.

Remedy

The product is being recalled from end users. We recommend that consumers stop using the product immediately and return it to their place of purchase for a refund. No receipt is required. Please see: Littala Recall for more information.
