Trader Joe's recalls candles sold nationwide, saying they pose a safety risk

Trader Joe's is recalling its Mango Tangerine Scented Candle sold nationwide because the popular product may pose a safety risk due to "a larger-than-expected flame." 

Part of a rotating lineup of seasonal candles, the recalled product "may have an unexpected burn pattern," the retailer stated Thursday in an announcement posted on its website. "The candle flame can spread from the wick to the wax causing a larger than expected flame, posing a safety risk."

The candles should be thrown out or returned to any Trader Joe's for a refund, the retailer said. Anyone with questions can call Trader Joe's customer relations line at (626) 599-3817 or submit a form on the company's site.
