Trader Joe's recalls more than 650,000 candles sold nationwide due to fire risk

Trader Joe's is recalling about 653,000 Mango Tangerine Scented Candles sold nationwide because the wax can become engulfed in a flame, making the product a fire hazard, the company said Thursday in a notice posted by U.S. safety regulators.

The grocery chain has received 14 reports of incidents of the U.S.-made candles sparking high flames, including three involving minor property damage and two reports of minor burns, the Monrovia, California-based company said.

The recalled candles' flames can spread from the product's wick to its wax, leading to a larger-than-expected flame and a potential fire risk, according to the notice published by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
