Laura C Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hello all. Want to share some links I found while reading posts on here that relate to product safety and candle companies that have been involved in lawsuits. Since this was brought up in a previous unrelated post I wanted to give it it's own post. It's interesting to read about the candle related law suits so you can learn from other's mistakes. Some mistakes appear to be by the manufacture, user error or a combination of both. Really makes me think about how I would present my products, package them, write up usage & warning info that wouldn't be misleading or confusing to the buyer or end user. To be blunt, it's like you have to dummy proof everything and explain everything and not assume people will know the intentions of your product. But what would be worse than being sued would be knowing that I injured someone with my product. 😩 https://www.cpsc.gov/search?site=cpsc_site&output=xml_no_dtd&getfields=*&tlen=120&client=ek_drupal_01&proxystylesheet=ek_drupal_01&filter=p&query=candle https://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/search.html?keywords=candle https://candles.org/ https://candles.org/industry-standards/ https://candles.org/fire-safety-candles/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusyBee Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 This should be the most recent candle recall. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2019/hallmark-recalls-candles-due-to-fire-and-laceration-hazards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura C Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 FYI, Candles.org has updated the data on their site. They have even better information now and it's more current and specifically explains topics that have been muddy or have needed proper clarification. Such as myths regarding paraffin wax, scented candles, the burning of candles and synthetic FOs vs. essential oils, etc. https://candles.org/ https://candles.org/faqs/ https://candles.org/research-studies/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karinz40 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I wonder how many people who are selling candles on Ebay and Etsy do Not have insurance? I have spoken with two Etsy sellers about their candles before I bought them recently and neither have insurance. I only sell melts on Ebay and after reading this will be getting insurance for that. Very scary !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
