Consumers with questions may also contact Trader Joe's Customer Relations at 626-599-3817.

Two minor burns have been reported

Trader Joe's has received 14 reports of incidents involving high flames with the recalled candles, including three reports of minor property damage and two reports of minor burns, the CPSC said.
