The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of certain tealight wax warmers due to fire and burn hazards.

The warmers affected are from Olympic Mountain Products. The tealights in the warmers can burn with an erratic or high flame, posing fire and burn hazards.  About 209,000 sets in the United States are impacted.  They were sold exclusively at Costco.
