Recalls this week: Children's lamps, candles
About 300,000 colorful children's lamps were recalled this week because of a circuit problem that could start a fire. Other products recalled included candles that could become too hot and carbonation system bottles that can't handle the pressure.
Here's a closer look at this week's recalled products.
