Plain-English summary

CoScentrix is recalling approximately 126,000 DD Brand 4-ounce tin candles sold in round metal tins with metal lids. The recall involves candles sold in 35 different fragrances and colors, identified by specific SKU and batch numbers listed in the official notice. These products were sold exclusively at Hobby Lobby stores nationwide and online from June 2014 through July 2014 for approximately $6 each.

CoScentrix has received two reports of the candle's surface igniting and one report of minor property damage. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the candles and return them to the nearest Hobby Lobby store. Customers with a receipt will receive a full refund, while those without a receipt will receive store credit. Online purchasers should contact CoScentrix for return instructions.
