The hand-shaped Bleeding Hand wax candle is sold in two colors: pink skin-toned with a red band around the bottom of the wrist; and dark green with a red band around the bottom of the wrist. The 7-inch high candle came in a plastic and purple cardboard package labeled with the names "Bleeding Hand Candle" and "C.R. Seasons LTD" on the front and back of the packaging. Small gift and specialty stores and drug stores in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut and the discount store Caldor sold the Bleeding Hand Candle during Halloween of 1995 and 1996 for about $4.
