The holders are constructed of metal and glass disks and are in the shape of a vertical wave pattern. The tea light candles rest behind the glass disks. The holders are purple and black, yellow and white or green and white. Meijer stores located in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois sold the candleholders from May 2002 through October 2002 for about $7.99. They were manufactured in China. PROBLEM: The middle candleholder is mounted directly below the top candleholder, which can cause the top candle to overheat and flare. This poses a fire hazard, which can result in a burn injury or property damage. INCIDENTS/INJURIES: There have been two incidents of candles flaring. The incidents did not result in injury or property damage. Meijer is recalling the candleholder to prevent injury or property damage. WHAT TO DO: Consumers should stop using the candleholder immediately, and return it to their local Meijer store for a refund.
