WASHINGTON - About 7,000 snowman snow globes were recalled Tuesday for posing a fire hazard.
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.
Hallmark Cards Inc. of Kansas City, Mo., said it has received two reports of the Chinese-made globes causing surrounding objects to ignite.
The snowmen globes were sold at Hallmark Gold Crown stores around the country in October and November. The globes have the model number 1XAG5093 and a UPC code 795902066666.
They can be returned for a full refund.
