Nearly 5 million candles sold exclusively at Target have been recalled after more than 100 incidents were reported, leaving multiple people injured, the Consumer Product and Safety Commission reported Thursday.
The roughly 4.9 million Threshold glass jar candles were recalled because "the candle’s jar can crack or break during use, posing laceration and burn hazards."
"Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candles and return them to any Target store for a full refund or contact Target to receive a prepaid return label to return the candles by mail," the recall alert states.
Target received 137 reports of such candle jars breaking or cracking during use, leaving as many as six people injured, including some with lacerations and severe burns.
The candles were sold at Target stores nationwide between August 2019 and March 2023 for between $3 and $20.
They include the 5.5-ounce one-wick candles, 14-ounce three-wick candles and 20-ounce three-wick candles in multiple scents.
