The candle has a clamp that is used to extinguish the candle. The clamp does not always sever the wax close to the wick and extinguish the candle as intended. This can allow the flame to continue down into the coiled section of the candle and ignite the entire candle.

Injuries/Incidents

TechnoBrands Inc. has received two reports of the candle continuing to burn past the point where it is supposed to extinguish. TechnoBrands, Inc. has received no reports of property damage or injury.

Description

The rope candle is a 20-foot coiled beeswax candle that feeds up to a scissors like clamp. The candle is lit above the clamp. The candle has an antique copper finish. It was sold under the name "Self-extinguishing Rope Candle."
