Target recall: 2.2 million Threshold candles recalled; at least 1 injured
Target is recalling about 2.2 million candles after multiple reports of jars breaking during use, injuring at least one person.
The Threshold glass candles were sold at Target stores and Target.com between February 2020 and July 2023 and cost between $3 and $12, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candles and return them to any Target store for a full refund, or contact Target to receive a prepaid return label to return the candles by mail,” the safety commission said.
