    I had the tea candle lit and it was over 1/2 way burned when it suddenly flared and there was a huge flame- of 6 inches or more… whatever it scared the daylights out of me and I only noticed it because of the noise it made when it did it. I had it in one of the IKEA bookcase cubbies so the chance of catching fire was huge. I carefully brought it to my sink and was able to douse it but the flame was huge and it was scary. It was in a glass tea light holder which was crystal. I could not see anything amiss with the remains. The foil holder was soft, but not melted. I don’t use candles often so this package is from awhile ago as they sell in bulk. I would think it was an aberration but a couple of years ago (same package of candles) the same event happened. I was close by and again noticed it because of the sound, but I recall it was dicey when removing it from the bookcase to take to a place to extinguish it. Again the same flare and huge fan… I think that was even higher almost reaching the top of their cubby bookcase which thankfully does not appear to be too flammable. I had almost stepped out to do my laundry in the basement. If I had there would definitely have been a fire in the case in the past. I never leave the room of a candle after that incident which bode well with this last one. I’ll hold the package, but will be disposing of them after a time since I consider them to have some defect.
