Mainstays Three-Wick Candles recall: Reason, affected themes, and all you need to know

Over 1.2 million Mainstays Three-Wick Candles are being recalled by Star Soap Star Candle Prayer Candle over concerns about Fire and Laceration Hazards. The nationally recalled products pose these concerns as the candle wicks can burn too close to the side of the container and cause the glass to break.

Announced on February 23, the recall was initiated following several consumer reports that found the candles burning too close to the side of the container and the glass cracking.

Out of the 12 reported cases, at least one customer reported that the product caused a fire, while another reported getting minor cuts from the broken glass. Ten other cases have reported minor damage caused to nearby products and/or items due to fire and/or breaking glass.
