Aldi shoppers told to return popular item amid fire fears after thousands sold across Ireland

A popular item sold in Aldi stores across Ireland in recent weeks has been urgently recalled amid fire fears.

It says more than 3,200 of the Halloween decorations have been bought in Aldi shops across Ireland in recent weeks.

There are fears it poses a fire hazard.

A spokesperson explained: “The risk associated with the product is that it poses a fire hazard. The use of certain lit candles in the product leads to flames exiting the front opening of the burner, igniting the over-heated molten wax.”

The affected products were manufactured this year and were for sale recently in the lead-up to Halloween.
