Hallmark recalled thousands of jumbo snowglobes due to a design flaw which makes them act as magnifying glasses. If placed close to a source of sunlight, such as on a windowsill, the snowglobes actually magnify the sun's rays, setting fire to combustible materials nearby!
The snowglobes were sold in Hallmark stores throughout the fall, fashioned in the likeness of a festive snowman. They retailed for a whopping $100, measuring 11x12x17. Consumer product safety agencies have received at least two reports of the products setting nearby materials ablaze.
