The product, in the report: Large jar candle
A candle in a jar (Yankee Candle Co.) burned down toward the bottom of the jar. As it reached the bottom, the jar suddenly cracked and the glass tray that it was resting on also cracked. A large flame filled the jar. Small pieces of glass were expelled onto the table. This could have been much more dangerous than what actually occurred. It may have exploded and/or expelled glass pieces some distance from the jar instead of just cracking the jar and tray. I contacted Yankee Candle customer service via email and they referred me to the “warning” on the jar label not to burn the candle too far down. They refused to reimburse me for the damage to the glass tray; only offering to send me a replacement candle. The so called “warning” on the jar label is on the BOTTOM of the candle jar, not very conspicuous or prominent. It is also not in an ANSI standard warning format. I believe this type of failure should be prevented in the product design, not just warned against. And I seek reimbursement for the replacement of the glass tray. I was also very upset about the way my contact with customer service was handled. I was finally able to get from them the address where I could send a written complaint, but they would not give me the name of their Vice President or Director in charge of quality and customer service. It has been 6 weeks since I did send a letter to the Consumer Affairs Manager at the company and I have still not received a response. This company does not seem to be interested in addressing my issue. Nor do they seem interested in responding to consumer complaints.
