The recalled warmers are about 4 ¾ inches in diameter, with a black heating plate surrounded by white plastic.

Wal-Mart and other nationwide retailers sold the recalled Candlesense Warmers from August 2006 through October 2007 for between $5 and $10. Consumers are advised to contact Provo Craft at 888-306-0132 to receive a voucher worth 120 percent of the price of the candle warmer.
