# Major Recall Alert: Blossom Lotus Flower Birthday Cake Candle Recalled for Safety Risks
Discount Packaging Warehouse has issued an urgent recall for its **Blossom Lotus Flower Birthday Cake Candle 2-piece sets** in various colors, including Blue, Colourful, Pink, Purple, Red, and Yellow. These products have been found to **pose a significant safety risk** due to non-compliance with mandatory Australian standards for products containing button/coin batteries.
The button/coin batteries in these candles may not be adequately secured, making them **accessible to young children**, which poses a risk of **serious injury or fatality if ingested**. Additionally, the product lacks the required safety warning information and may fall under the **permanent ban on combustible candle holders**. Here’s everything you need to know about this important recall.
## Why This Recall is Important
Product recalls are not issued lightly; they aim to protect consumers from **potential hazards** associated with faulty or non-compliant products. In this case, the risks include:
- **Ingestion of button/coin batteries**: If a child swallows these batteries, it can result in severe internal burns, choking, or fatal injuries.
- **Non-compliance with warning standards**: The absence of mandated safety warnings means consumers might not be fully informed of the potential risks tied to these candles.
