Trader Joe's reports 14 incidents of high flames, a handful resulting in minor burns and limited property damage.

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 grocer is urging people who purchased the candles to stop using them and return them to any Trader Joe's store for a $4 cash refund. Another option would be to complete an online form and get a $4 Trader Joe's gift card in the mail. Expect to first receive a request for a receipt or photo of the candle. Sold in June 2024, the recalled candles are white-colored wax with a cotton wick in a tin container. The 5.7-ounce candle has the SKU number 56869 on the bottom of the tin.
