Target's exclusive Threshold Glass Jar Candles have been officially recalled for the second time—a result of buyers reporting that the glass jars break when used, causing injuries and potential fire hazards. The recall includes 2.2 million affected candles.
The defective candles were released in February 2020 and were sold up until July 2023. Target first issued a recall on certain Threshold candle scents in May, but another recall was issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC) on August 10. The organization estimates a total of nearly 5 million affected candles.
The defective products primarily consist of 20-ounce 3-wick candles in multiple scents, but the recall has also been issued on one 5.5-ounce candle. If you've purchased a Threshold candle within the last few years and want to make sure it's safe to use, be sure to check the scent name and item number, which can be found on the bottom of the glass jars. Anyone looking to be refunded for a defective candle can still receive a full refund by bringing the Threshold candle back to your local store. Target is also providing prepaid shipping labels for those needing to return a recalled candle via mail. You can find more information on the Product Safety and Recall page of Target's website.
Sold both online and in-stores, see the full list of recalled candles below.

Gardeners in the West have many choices. Read on for some top options for California or Nevada container gardening.
In Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars, Kate Greene talks about Shannon Lucid, the NASA astronaut who spent six months living on the Russian space station Mir. Shannon, it turns out, was a bookworm. During her stay, she read 50 books and improvised shelving from old food boxes, complete with straps to stop the books floating off. This was in 1996, a good decade before the invention of the Kindle, and so these were real books. She apparently chose titles with the highest word to mass ratio, since launch weight is a critical factor! Lucid left her library behind for future spacefarers, but it burned up when Mir was de-orbited in 2001.
What kind of traveller are you? Do you prefer to lie in a hammock slung between two palm trees, reading the latest blockbuster novel?
