WASHINGTON (AP) _ Kmart Corp. is recalling 588 boxes of Martha Stewart Everyday safety matches because they may ignite upon impact and could pose a fire hazard.

Kmart has not received any reports of incidents and the recall is a precaution, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.

The matches are 11 inches long and come in a yellow checkered box with the UPC code 045774700237 printed on the back. They were manufactured in China and sold for about $2 at Kmart stores from January 2004 through March 2004. Martha Stewart Everyday is the home stylist's line of products marketed exclusively through Kmart.

People should stop using the matches immediately and return them to the store where they purchased them for a full refund. For more information, contact Kmart at 866-562-7848.
