Hallmark Snow Globe Recall

In a fiery reminder of the season, Hallmark recalled around 7,000 jumbo snowman snow globes on 23 December 2008.  At least two reports indicate the US$100 snow globes caused surrounding objects to ignite.

It is believed their size, 17 inch tall snowman-shaped, magnified the intensity of sunlight  alighting objects nearby.  Hallmark stated "When exposed to sunlight, the snow globes can act as a magnifying glass and ignite nearby combustible materials, posing a fire hazard." 

 

We hope you had a Merry, and not so enlightening, Christmas.
