Here’s everything you should know about the Yankee Candle recall
When we hear the word “recall,” we normally think of everything from hummus to baby toys. But candles? Say it ain’t so! It turn out that Yankee Candle Company recalled products from their Luminous Collection line, so if you bought a few of them for your loved ones this holiday season, you might want to listen up.
As it turns out, these candles contain faulty glass. While the recall is voluntary, it’s definitely important to consider returning your products in case they become hazardous.
"We have recently received consumer feedback regarding our new Luminous Collection candles which has indicated that when the candle is lit, the glass jar may crack, posing a possible laceration hazard...out of an abundance of caution and a firm commitment to safety, we have decided to request the immediate return of all Luminous Collection candles," their official statement read.
The good news? Only six types of candles are listed in the recall. (It’s been estimated that about 31,000 candles total have the defect.)

And, uh — try not to make 90 more purchases while you’re there, since that’s what happens at Yankee Candle during the end of holiday shopping season. Maybe wait until the new year to stock up — your credit card will thank you.
