Hazard
The candle's wicks are in close proximity, causing the candle to burn unevenly and faster than expected, posing a potential fire hazard.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the candles immediately and contact their AtHome consultant for a full refund. The company has sent direct notices to sales consultants and candle owners.
Incidents and injuries
The firm has received one report of melted wax on a table. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
