Taylor and Finch Six-Wick Scented Candles Recalled for Fire and Injury Hazards

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The hazard involves a risk of fire and injury from breaking glass when candles combust. Although five reports of combustion have been received with one minor injury reported, the source text does not report hospitalizations, serious injuries, or deaths, and no agency classification of Class I or II is provided. The risk-of-harm product with a single reported minor injury places this at High (3).
