Risk Description
The garden torches were found to be dangerous because the various parts are not secured. They consist of components (fuel container, wick guide) which are not fixed to the items on which they are mounted and which can become detached, giving rise to a fire hazard when the fuel spills out. Since the various components of the torch are not secured, there is a risk of fire or of the user's sustaining burns, if the torch is accidentally knocked over.
