Fredericksburg Farms 10-Ounce Scented Candles Recalled for Laceration Hazard

Fredericksburg Farms is recalling about 6,500 scented candles with glass lids because some lids are too tight, causing jars to break when forcibly opened. The company has received four reports of hand lacerations.

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: Although no deaths occurred, the source explicitly documents four injury reports of actual lacerations (not theoretical risk). This meets the High severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has been reported.

Plain-English summary

Fredericksburg Farms is recalling approximately 6,500 of its 10-ounce Scented Candles with glass lids due to a laceration hazard. Some of the glass lids are too tight, which causes the jar to break when consumers forcibly remove the lid.

The recalled candles come in 15 different scents and were sold at Buc-ee's stores, smaller gift shops in the South and Southwest United States, and online at www.fbgfarms.com from October 2022 through February 2023 for about $18. Specific model numbers and UPC codes are listed in the recall notice.

Fredericksburg Farms has received four reports of consumers receiving lacerations on their hands after the glass candle jars broke. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candles and should not attempt to forcibly remove the lid if it does not come off easily.

Consumers should contact Fredericksburg Farms for instructions on how to return the product for a full refund. The company can be reached toll-free at 888-359-2993 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, by email at [email protected], or online at www.fbgfarms.com by clicking the recall link on the homepage or visiting https://www.fbgfarms.com/pages/recall.
