The product, in the report: candle
Jan. 3rd 2012
To whom this may concern: Recently I purchased a candle for the holiday season. While I was busy, my husband was in the area of this candle, but not in the same room. The smoke alarm went off and he went to the room and saw this candle ablaze I am sending the information on the bottom of the candle plus the wooden buttons imbedded in the wax and evergreens with red berries. This is the stuff that caught fire. I will never buy another candle with embellishments to look pretty. I also feel these candles need to be banned. Thank you for reading my not and concerns. Sincerely, [REDACTED] Consumer Added: I have no other info. All I had about the product was on the sticker on the bottom of the candle. Thank You.
