The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued some recalls with a Halloween theme.
Crate and Barrel sold 30,000 ghost tealight candleholders through their catalog and retail stores between August and October. A set of three sold for $10. Other retailers sold them for between $3 and $5 each.
The danger here is the holder can catch fire, posing a fire and burn hazard. You should stop using the holders immediately and return them to the store where you purchased them for a full refund.
