Dangerous Candles Recalled Due to Fire Hazards

In many ways, a candle is the perfect, affordable gift for almost anyone on your list. But not if this candle poses a fire hazard to your loved ones. On December 15th, it was reported that over 30,000 candles manufactured by the company “Good Matters” had been recalled. These candles apparently burned at “higher than usual temperatures,” posing a serious fire hazard for users. According to some reports, the candle jar can break at these high temperatures, potentially allowing fires to spread. Not only that, but the shattering glass also has the potential to cause lacerations. At least one person has been burned by these candles. The candles were sold at places like HomeGoods, Tuesday Morning, and Amazon.

Baby Formula Recalled in Florida Due to Contamination Concerns

On December 15th, it was reported ByHeart baby formula had been recalled across Florida due to potential contamination concerns. Health officials reported that this baby formula could contain Cronobacter germs, which can be deadly for newborn infants. Health complications include sepsis and meningitis. Anyone who purchased these products recently is urged not to use them, and ByHealth is offering refunds.

Raw Oysters Cause Widespread Sickness

On December 16th, it was reported that hundreds of people had been infected with norovirus after an outbreak linked to raw oysters from Texas. Many people in Florida were affected, and the DSHS immediately issued a recall. No hospitalizations or deaths were reported, but norovirus has the potential to cause serious cases of diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach nausea. Younger children and individuals with compromised immune systems are especially vulnerable.

Jacuzzi and Sundance Spas Recalled for Burn Hazard
