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.

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.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the candleholder immediately and return it to their local Meijer store for a refund.
Incidents and 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.
