Anthropologie is recalling its Anecdote candles in four aromas.
Anthropologie is voluntarily recalling its Anecdote Autumn Glass Candles in the scents Fireside Chats, Weekend Getaway, Sweater Weather, and Fall Feels, according to a recall notice published by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC). The name of the candle's scent as well as "Anecdote Candles for Anthropologie" are printed on a label on the side of the glass candle container. The candles are made with glass tumblers, wood lids, cotton core wicks, phthalate-free fragrance oil, and coconut-soy wax blend. The SKU number is located on the price label on the bottom of the candles; you can check yours against the numbers listed in the recall notice if you believe you have an affected candle.
The recall is dated Feb. 16, 2022, and affects about 19,380 units in the U.S. (In addition, about 623 were sold in Canada.)
The recalled candles could break apart while burning and cause fire or injury.
According to the published notice, the double-wick candles are being recalled because they can achieve higher than usual flames, and this can cause the glass container to break apart, posing fire and laceration hazards.
So far, there have been nine reports of the candles flaming up, cracking, or breaking apart while in use, resulting in minor property damage. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported at this time.
