The short answer

Announced by CPSC on Mar 6, 2008. Copied from CPSC on Oct 19, 2026.

Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

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.
