In an expansion of a recall issued in February 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with M & A Global Technologies Inc, d.b.a. Spa at Home, has issued a second voluntary recall of gel candles, due to a fire and burn hazard posed to consumers if the candles have an excessive flame height.

The company has received four additional reports of abnormally high flames, and flames coming in contact with nearby combustibles, resulting in minor fires, smoke and soot damage. M & A Global Technologies has also received one report of burns to a consumer's hand.

Manufactured in the United States and sold at Spa at Home stores and at Spaathome.com from October 2003 through December 2003 and October 2005 through December 2005 for between $9 and $50, this recall is for Everlasting Jelly candles, sold in various sized clear glass containers with a smaller glass of gel in the center of the candle. Please see the CPSC press release for models of the recalled gel candles.

Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled candles and contact M & A Global Technologies at (866) 244-8811, or visit their website at www.spaathome.com for instructions on returning the candles.
