Description
The product is the "Heartfelt 3 Glass Pumpkins with Tealights and Garland by Valerie." It consists of three separate glass candle holders of three graduated sizes which are shaped like pumpkins. Each set includes six tea light candles, as well as a glass bead decorative garland. The pumpkin candle holders were sold in either clear glass or an amber color.
Hazard
The product can crack, break or shatter when used with the tea light candles that accompany them, yielding sharp pieces of glass that pose a laceration hazard.
Remedy
QVC has already notified each customer by telephone and mail to stop using the candle holders until they received replacement tea lights. QVC will replace the tea light candles that accompanied the candle holders with battery-powered tea light candles at no charge, or will refund the purchase price of the product, including shipping and handling, upon the customer's certification that they have safely discarded the glass candle holders.
Incidents and injuries
QVC has received 85 reports that the product cracked, broke or shattered during use. Two consumers reported receiving minor lacerations, that did not require medical treatment, to their hands.
