Trader Joe’s just announced a recall on one of their fan-favorite candles, according to a recent company announcement. This is due to the product posing a safety hazard.

The candle being recalled is the Trader Joe’s Mango Tangerine Scented Candle with a printed stock-keeping unit (SKU) number 56879. The recalled scent was sold at TJ's locations nationwide in June 2024 for $4. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), about 653,000 candles were impacted by this recall.

These candles may have an “unexpected burn pattern” where the flame can spread from the wick to the wax, which can result in a larger flame that presents a burn or fire risk. There have been 14 reports of incidents involving a startling high flame, including 3 reports of property damage and 2 reports of minor burn injuries.

If you have the defective candle on hand, the grocery chain is urging you to discard it or return it to your local Trader Joe’s for a full refund. Seek medical attention if you have experienced any injuries after using this candle.

For questions regarding this recall, contact Trader Joe's Customer Relations at (626) 599-3817 or fill out their product feedback form available on their website.
