WASHINGTON -- A Texas company is recalling about 300,000 candle tins.

Home Interiors & Gifts Inc. says the candle flames can flare up out of the tin container during use, posing a fire and burn hazard.

The company says it has received 10 reports of candles flaring up. No injuries have been reported, but surfaces where the candles were placed were scorched.

The recall includes 6.5-ounce, individually packaged candle tins with an approximate burn time of 35 hours.

The lidded tins are silver with fragrance name labels on the side.

Fragrances include Sandalwood, Suede, Mulberry, Seaside Breeze, Hawaiian Delight, Carrot Cake, Fresh Peach, Baked Apple Pie, Vanilla Crème and Lemon Torte.

The candle tins were sold as part of Home Interiors’ fundraising programs and through direct sales associates from April through May 3 for $8.

Consumers should stop using the recalled candles and go to the firm's Web site for instructions on how to return the candle tines free of charge.

Consumers without Internet access can call the firm directly at (877) 707-8842.

For every candle tin returned, consumers will receive a replacement Home Interiors Candle Tin of the same fragrance and also one of Home Interiors’ fragranced body care products.
