Trader Joe's has recalled about 653,000 scented candles Thursday because the flame can spread from the wick to the wax, causing a larger than expected flame and posing a fire hazard.

The recall involves Mango Tangerine Scented Candles with SKU number 56879 on the bottom. The candles are white colored wax with a cotton wick in a tin container and weigh about 5.7 ounces, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The CPSC says consumers should immediately stop using the candles, which were sold in June 2024, and return them to any Trader Joe's for a full cash refund of $4. Consumers can also complete the product feedback form online to receive a $4 Trader Joe's gift card by mail.

Consumers will receive a response from Customer Relations requesting a receipt or a photo of the candle, according to the CPSC.

Consumers with questions may also contact Trader Joe's Customer Relations at 626-599-3817.

Two minor burns have been reported

Trader Joe's 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, the CPSC said.
