The battery is very unstable and does not stay upright during functioning; it is very likely to fall on its side. If that happens, burning projectiles could hit persons, causing burns, or come into contact with flammable material, causing a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Pyrotechnics Directive and the relevant European standard EN 15947.

The product poses a risk of fire and burns due to the presence of 1,1 difluoro ethane, an extremely flammable component in the pressurized container. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.

In case of fire, the fire extinguisher fails to efficiently extinguish the flames and the user could therefore receive burns. The product does not comply with the requirements of Directive 97/23/EC on pressure equipment and with the relevant standard EN 3-7.

The product has an unsafe structure. The decorative stones may be moved when placing or removing the glass cylinder and if they are too close to the bio-ethanol tank, the extinguisher cannot be used correctly. Also, the glass cylinder gets extremely hot rapidly and this may cause burns. Finally, the mark of the maximum filling is unclear, which may lead to over-filling.

If the flower-shaped ornament and the ribbon are not removed before the candle is lit, these ornaments can catch fire, causing burns to the user and possibly starting a fire.
