Target is recalling 2.2 million candles due to laceration and burn hazards. The recall impacts Threshold-branded glass jar candles sold in multiple sizes and various scents.
The now-recalled 2.2 million candles were sold at Target stores nationwide and the Minneapolis-based retailer's website from February 2020 through July 2023. Prices ranged from $3 to $12, the safety commission said.
This isn't the first time Threshold candles have been under recall. In May, Target recalled nearly 5 million Threshold candles over similar safety concerns. At the time of that recall, Target received 137 reports of the candles' jars breaking or cracking during use and six injuries, including lacerations and severe burns.
It's unclear if the May recall is connected to this week's announcement, but Thursday's notice listed some different product scents and distribution dates. The Associated Press reached out to Target for comment on Thursday. Beyond Target, candles sold at other retailers have also been recalled this year — including Mainstays-branded products sold at Walmart. In February, Star Soap Star Candle Prayer recalled 1.2 million Mainstays Three-Wick Candles because the wicks burned too close to the edge, causing some jars to break.
