Target has recalled about 2.2 million scented candles sold exclusively at its stores because the candles' glass jars may suddenly shatter while the wick is burning.
The recall, issued Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), affects Threshold Glass Jar 5.5 ounce 1-Wick and 20 ounce 3-Wick Candles sold in a variety of scents like Blue Agave & Cactus, Frosted Holly Berries and Pineapple Sage. Manufactured in Vietnam, the candles come in glass jars that can crack or break during use, posing laceration and burn risks, a the recall notice on its website.
Target has so far received 19 reports of the jars breaking or cracking during use. One such incident caused a minor injury, the CPSC said. Target sold the candles nationwide for between $3 and $12 from February 2020 and July 2023.
The recall affected Threshold scented candles with the following item numbers which can be found on the product stickers located on the bottom of the glass jars.

The candles were manufactured in Vietnam and Target has so far received 19 reports of the jars breaking or cracking. One such incident caused a minor injury, the CPSC said. Target sold the candles nationwide for between $3 and $12 from February 2020 and July 2023.
Anyone with the candles should stop using it immediately and return it to Target for a full refund, the CPSC said. Customers can also contact Target directly to get a prepaid shipping label to return the product by mail.
The company announced a similar recall for the same brand of candle in May, which included the 14-ounce sizes. They too had problems with the jar's glass breaking.
Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Target at 1-800-440-0680 or visit help.target.com.
