Candle recalled over fire hazard

A DECORATIVE Christmas candle sold by one of Australia’s biggest supermarket chains has been recalled because of safety concerns.

Supermarket giant Woolworths is recalling a Christmas-themed candle sold more than a year ago because it’s a fire hazard.

The wreath around the Votive Candle with Christmas Berries, sold by Woolworths stores nationwide between October and December 2017, risks catching fire, the supermarket said.

The product is being recalled as a precautionary measure, according to the supermarket’s website.

Anyone who has the candle should return it to Woolworths for a refund.
