The product
The metal Tealight Candle Holder measures 7" x 7" and has a silver metallic top with a black base. It has nine square openings for use with tealight candles. The product's SKU number 2174941 can be located on the bottom of the base.
What can happen
The spacing of the holes in a concentrated pattern allows the holder to heat up. This can cause the tealights to burn unexpectedly fast and with a higher flame height than normal, posing a fire hazard.
