The double wick candles can achieve higher than usual flames, causing the glass container to break apart. This issue could pose fire and laceration hazards.
The firm has received nine reports of the candles flaming up, cracking, or breaking apart while in use, resulting in minor property damage. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Anecdote Autumn Glass Candles in the "Fireside Chats," "Weekend Getaway," "Sweater Weather," and "Fall Feels" scents.
The candle’s scent and “Anecdote Candles for Anthropologie” are printed on a label on the side of the glass candle container. The SKU number is located on the price label on the bottom of the candles. A list of the recalled candles may be found here.
The candles, manufactured in the U.S., were sold at Anthropologie stores nationwide and online at www.anthropologie.com from July 2021, through December 2021, for about $32.
