A popular Halloween item sold in Aldi stores across Ireland in recent weeks has been urgently recalled over fire hazard fears.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has issued an alert for the ‘Kirkton House Pumpkin Wax Melt Burner’, which is a candleholder. The affected products were manufactured in 2022, and more than 3,200 of the Halloween decorations have been bought in Aldi shops across Ireland in recent weeks.
A spokesperson for the CCPC said: "The risk associated with the product is that it poses a fire hazard. The use of certain lit candles in the product leads to flames exiting the front opening of the burner, igniting the over-heated molten wax."
