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 risk of laceration and fire from breaking glass in an active product (burning candle); while three incidents have been reported with no injuries yet, the hazard is real and the product poses risk of harm per the rubric's criterion for High severity.
