Attention all shoppers! If you've recently purchased a Christmas-themed candle from Dusk stores in Australia, you may want to pay close attention. There has been a recall issued for these popular candles due to safety concerns. It seems that the scented candles with light-up LED lights have failed to meet mandatory information standards for items containing button/coin batteries.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has issued a warning, stating that this product could pose a serious risk to young children. According to the ACCC, the product does not include the required warning information, putting children at risk for choking, severe internal burn injuries, or even death if they gain access to the button/coin batteries and ingest them.
In fact, these injuries can occur in as little as 2 hours, and consumers may not even be aware that the product contains button batteries. The affected candles were sold at Dusk stores all across the country from October 24th to December 12th. The specific models that are affected include Flower Market, Fresh Evergreen, Fruit Market, and Sweet Shop.
If you have purchased any of these candles, it is important to stop using them immediately and keep them out of reach of children. You can contact Dusk to receive the necessary warning information, or you can visit their product recalls webpage for more details.
