Did you buy some candles before the winter holidays?
If so, you might want to check your cabinets and drawers.
Health Canada has issued a consumer recall of thousands of candles that were sold between November and December 2020.
This recall involves the Revive 3-wick soy candle in a glass jar with white wax, topped with a decorative metal lid embossed with the Melaleuca leaf and drop.
The candle’s high flames can ignite the surface of the wax, posing fire and burn hazards, explains a news release.
The company reported that 3,103 units of the affected product were sold in Canada; they were manufactured in the United States.
Two scents were sold:
- Revive 3-Wick Soy Candle – Winter Cedar, Melaleuca SKU Number 1010030041
- Revive 3-Wick Soy Candle – Warm Spiced Latte, Melaleuca SKU Number 1010030040
