Candle recall: Nearly 143,000 candles sold at Dollar Tree recalled as high flames could pose fire, burn hazards

Small votive candles sold exclusively at Dollar Tree stores are being recalled because they pose fire and burn hazards.

According to a recall notice posted on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website, 142,740 Sure Scents 2-1 Peaceful Stream/Moonlit Waves Candles are part of the recall and consumers should immediately stop using the candles.

"The candles' high flames can ignite the surface of the wax or cause the glass to break, posing fire and burn hazards," the notice said, noting no injuries have been reported but there have been "two reports that flame height reached above the glass, causing the glass to break."
