The product, in the report: White Barn, 3 wick, candle from Bath and Body Works

I accidentally left a candle burning overnight in my powder room on the middle floor of my house. When I woke up the next day, breathing was slightly difficult. There was not any smoke but it was like the air was polluted. I found my bathroom was destroyed. The walls were stained black, mirror shattered, outside the bathroom the door frame was smokey black. I found soot all over my walls upstairs, on my baby’s crib, all over her curtains, all over the ceiling fans. I was in shock this happened. I have accidentally left candles burning overnight a numerous amount of times over the years. They would typically just burn out. I guess because the door was closed and it was a small space, this happened. I am still in shock and have to spend hundreds fixing my bathroom but I am thankful my family was not injured and that a fire didn’t start.

The product, in the report: Evergreen three wick white barn Bath and Body works candle

I lit a Bath and Body works three wick candle in my kitchen, and was doing laundry in the adjoining bathroom, about 30-45 minutes after lighting it, it burst into a huge fireball and exploded all over the place, damaging my stove, counter, and the electronics, with hot wax splattered everywhere. The flames almost reached to the ceiling. I have never seen anything like it.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(3/4/2015) White Barn Candle Company: Thank you for sharing with us and the Consumer Products Safety Commission your concerns about the candle you purchased . We are committed to our customers’ safety and satisfaction. Our candles have been extensively tested under rigorous burn conditions and meet all applicable industry and governmental standards, including those of ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) with respect to performance and safety. The safe use of a candle is dependent on many factors beyond the candle itself - it can be affected by the environment, drafts, proper wick trimming, keeping the melt pool clear of any debris (such as wick trimmings or other foreign objects), and making sure that the use of the candle is always supervised and it is not burnt over 3-4 hours at a time. We appreciate that you are working with our call center so we can determine what may have happened in your situation.
