BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued an alert on Aug. 15 concerning over 650,000 Trader Joe’s Mango Tangerine Scented Candles. It says the candle flame can spread from the wick to the wax, causing a larger-than-expected flame and posing a fire hazard.

Trader Joe’s has received 14 reports of incidents involving high flames with the recalled candles, including three reports of minor property damage and two reports of minor burns.

If you’ve bought one, it is recommended to immediately stop using it and return it to any Trader Joe’s store for a $4 cash refund or fill out a Product Feedback Form to receive a $4 Trader Joe’s gift card in the mail.
