CoScentrix Expands Recall of DD Brand Candles Due to Fire Hazard

Plain-English summary

CoScentrix, of Carson, Calif., is expanding its recall of DD brand single-wick candles sold exclusively at Hobby Lobby stores nationwide and online. The recall covers approximately 168,000 units, including 5- and 12-ounce Mason jars, 10- and 20-ounce decorative jars, 13-ounce coffee tins, and 13-ounce holiday-themed jars. These candles were sold in various fragrances and colors between June 2014 and October 2014 for prices ranging from $6 to $20.

The recall is being issued because the candle's high flame can ignite the surface of the wax, creating a fire hazard. CoScentrix has received one additional report of a candle's surface igniting since the previous recalls, with no additional reports of injury or property damage. In total, across previous recalls, the company received 31 reports of the candle's surface igniting, one report of injury, and 10 reports of property damage.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candles and return them to the nearest Hobby Lobby store. Those with a receipt will receive a full refund, while those without a receipt will be issued store credit. Online purchasers should contact CoScentrix at (888) 298-2722 or visit www.coscentrix.com for return instructions.
