Wal-Mart issuing a recall for 10,085 candle sets

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wal-Mart is recalling 10,085 holiday candle sets because the paint on the outside of the candles poses a fire hazard, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.

The "Painted Snowman" gift set includes three candles painted with scenes of snowmen and holiday ornaments on the exterior, a display plate, pine sprigs and golden berries. The set, with model number CAD2525193 and UPC number 069302970040, is one in a series of holiday candle gift sets that were sold by Wal-Mart.

No injuries or incidents related to the candles have been reported to Wal-Mart or the CPSC, but consumers are advised to stop using them immediately and return them to Wal-Mart for a full refund.
