Candles specifically sold at Target stores are being recalled.

I know I'm not alone, but when it comes to a day out shopping one of my first stops is Target. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself to a Target trip (with a side of Starbucks) during the week. However, a popular Target item is being recalled with a dangerous reason behind it.

Target Candles Causing "Severe Burns"

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is reporting that Target is recalling almost 5 million Threshold Candles. The candle jars, exclusively sold at Target stores, reportedly "can crack or break during use, posing laceration and burn hazards" according to the safety commission.

According to the Safety Commission, Target has received "137 reports of the candle jar breaking or cracking during use." There have been 6 injuries reported that include cuts and "severe burns."  The candles named in the recall were sold in Target stores nationwide and online from " August 2019 through March 2023 for between $3 and $20."
