Attention WalMart shoppers

My wife recently purchased this cute little Christmas tea-candle holder from our local WalMart. In a weak moment she had gone down to cash a check and decided to buy something. Here is a picture of the bottom with the upc code and description. Note the WalMart made in China proudly displayed on the bottom. Sam Walton would be rolling in his grave about now.




Note the charred edges around the top and how the beads have melted down.


Yes she bought a cute little candle holder which could have ruined our Christmas. She lit the candle and dozed off on the couch. Shortly there after she smelled something and when she woke the candle holder was ablaze. Had this been sitting close to something flammable my lawyers would be knocking on WalMarts door right now. As it is I'm going to be seeking legal advice.

This is a warning to anyone who has purchased these candle holders do not light them and leave the room. In fact I wouldn't light them at all.

This is what we get when we have fewer regulations and more emphasis on profit instead of product safety.
The problem with the open market is by the time we find out something is hazardous it's already too late for some folks...
