Risk Description
The product poses a risk of fire because: - secondary ignition may occur in the candle as a result of a secondary wick being formed after carbon debris accumulates in the wax pool. This is a significant safety hazard as the candle is no longer under control. This secondary ignition causes the side and base of the container to overheat which could result in personal injury i.e. burns, - secondary ignition can also be caused as a result of the glass shattering, the spreading of fire to surrounding items by virtue of an enlarged flame height, wax spillage as a result of shattering – all of which constitute safety hazards.
