Seasons LTD. Announce Halloween Hand Candle Recall WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), C.R. Seasons LTD. of Farmingdale, N.Y., is recalling about 47,100 hand-shaped, five wick Bleeding Hand Halloween candles. The hand-shaped wax candles generate high flames that may present a fire hazard. The Bleeding Hand wax candle is hand shaped with five fingers each having individual wicks. The candle flames may reach 8 inches high as the candles melt down to the palm with the wicks of the five fingers burning together. C.R. Seasons has received no reports of excess flames or injuries associated with the Bleeding Hand Halloween candles. This recall is being conducted to prevent injuries and fires. The hand-shaped Bleeding Hand wax candle is sold in two colors: pink skin-toned with a red band around the bottom of the wrist; and dark green with a red band around the bottom of the wrist. The 7-inch high candle came in a plastic and purple cardboard package labeled with the names "Bleeding Hand Candle" and "C.R. Seasons LTD" on the front and back of the packaging. Small gift and specialty stores and drug stores in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut and the discount store Caldor sold the Bleeding Hand Candle during Halloween of 1995 and 1996 for about $4. Caldor is cooperating with CPSC and C.R. Seasons in this recall. Consumers should immediately stop using the hand-shaped Bleeding Hand candle and return them to the place of purchase for a refund of the purchase price.
