DETAILS: Hallmark Cards is recalling about 7,000 snowman snow globes, made in China and sold at its Gold Crown stores nationwide in October and November.
DEFECT: The transparent globes at the center of the snowman-shaped knickknacks can magnify the intensity of sunlight passing through the glass, causing nearby objects to catch on fire. The company said it has received two reports of the globes causing surrounding objects to ignite.
WHAT TO DO: The globes can be returned for a full refund. For more information, call 800-425-5627.
