What’s wrong with it?
The center of the candle has an unexpected high flame and the plastic petals could ignite, resulting in melting and dripping plastic. The ignited plastic could also spread to nearby combustibles and pose a fire hazard to consumers. The battery contained in the middle of candle could eventually explode.
