Britons have been informed that two Christmas candles have been recalled due to them imposing a fire risk.
The candles present a serious fire risk when they are extinguished with the wick continuing to glow and smoke, potentially leading it to re-ignite.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) alerted Britons of the recalled candles.
It said both products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
The product has been recalled from end users by The St Ives Co Ltd

The OPSS said that both products "present serious risks of fire as, when extinguished, the wick continues to glow and smoke for an excessive time, which does not meet the requirements of the relevant standard.
"There is therefore a risk of the candle re-igniting and causing a fire."
