Trader Joe’s recalls 653,000 mango tangerine scented candles due to fire risk

After fires, property damage, and burns, Trader Joe’s is recalling about 653,000 mango tangerine scented candles.

The candle flame can spread from the wick to the wax causing a larger than expected flame, posing a fire risk.

The firm has received 14 reports of incidents involving high flames with the recalled candles, including three reports of minor property damage and two reports of minor burns.

This recall involves Trader Joe’s mango tangerine scented candles with SKU 56879. The candles are white colored wax with a cotton wick in a tin container. The candles weigh about 5.7 ounces, and SKU number is located on the can’s bottom.

The candles were sold at Trader Joe’s stores nationwide in June 2024 for about $4.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candles sold in June 2024 and return them to any Trader Joe’s store for a refund of $4, or complete the Product Feedback Form online at https://www.traderjoes.com/home/contact-us/product-feedback to receive a $4 Trader Joe’s gift card by mail.
