Product description
The submitted sample, Style #25592, Flaming Cauldron, consists of a black plastic cauldron with two handles that measures approximately 9” in height and 10” in diameter. When an AC adapter is plugged in, two orange light bulbs in the middle of the cauldron light up and a small fan starts blowing two pieces of polyester up into the air. This creates the illusion of real flames. Eerie sounds can be added by flipping a switch on the bottom of the cauldron. The cauldron can be placed on a surface or hung from attached chains. This is a purely decorative item used to create a scary environment for Halloween. Your sample is being returned upon your request.
