The product is not fitted with a wick-guard or a cover to prevent small children from gaining access to the wick. This could lead to a risk of lung damage if children then swallow or ingest the lamp oil, - a risk of fire and burns if lighted wicks are placed in an open container which contains a flammable fluid. If the container is knocked over the fluid will spill out and the wicks could start a fire within seconds. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 14059.
