Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Bath & Body Works Inc. of Columbus, Ohio, is recalling about 18,700 ceramic potpourri burners. The ceramic potpourri burner may contain hairline cracks that can cause the burner to fracture or shatter while in use. As a result, people can be burned by hot wax and potpourri.
Bath & Body Works is aware of nine incidents in which the ceramic potpourri burner cracked, exposing consumers to flames, hot potpourri, and hot wax. Two consumers received burns to the hands as they attempted to extinguish the flames.
The white ceramic potpourri burner, a cylinder-shaped container measuring 5.5 inches high and 4.25 inches in diameter, is decorated with various floral designs. To heat the burner, consumers place candles in a round hole in the back of the potpourri burner.
Bath & Body Works retail stores sold the ceramic potpourri burners nationwide from April 1995 through April 1996 for approximately $10.
Consumers should immediately stop using the ceramic potpourri burners and return them to any Bath & Body Works retail store for a refund of the purchase price, plus a $25.00 Bath & Body Works gift certificate. For more information consumers should contact customer service at (800) 395-1001.

Related Recalls
The recalled dressers are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in risks of serious injuries or death to children. The dressers violate the mandatory safety standards as required by the STURDY Act.
The recalled bed rails violate the mandatory standard for adult portable bed rails, because users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress, posing a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation. The bed rails do not meet structural stability or retention strap requirements, posing a fall hazard. Furthermore, the bed rails’ push pins and push pin holes are incorrectly sized, posing a laceration hazard. In addition, the bed rails do not bear the required hazard warning labels.

The recalled plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) can break or degrade, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards. Should the defective plastic tip restraints break, consumers could be at risk of serious injuries or death. This is a hidden defect because consumers who purchase and install this product may be under a false sense of security that their furniture is safe from a tip-over incident.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
