Trader Joe’s has recalled about 653,000 Mango Tangerine Scented Candles after people were burned.
The problem is that the candle flame can spread from the wick to the wax, causing a larger-than-expected flame, which poses a fire hazard and a risk of burn injuries.
Trader Joe’s said it received 14 reports of incidents involving high flames with the recalled candles, including 3 reports of minor property damage and 2 reports of minor burns.
The recall involves Trader Joe’s Mango Tangerine Scented Candles, which came in a 5.7-oz. tin with a white candle wax, white cotton wick, and SKU 56879 printed on the bottom of the tin container.
They were sold at Trader Joe’s stores nationwide in June 2024 for about $4.
Trader Joe’s is urging customers to immediately stop using the candles. The candles can be returned to any Trader Joe’s store for a full cash refund of $4.
Customers can also submit a photo of the candle and fill out the Product Feedback Form online for a $4 gift card by visiting https://www.traderjoes.com/home/contact-us/product-feedback.
