They can be identified by their bright yellow packaging containing the printed phrase "Citronella Scented 33-inch Lawn Torch." These torches are a "one time only" use product. Consumers should not use the lawn torches but should return them to "Everything's A Dollar" stores for a full refund. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing this recall as a part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products.
