Relight Candles Banned by Health Canada for Fire Hazard

Health Canada has taken an official stance regarding the safety of relight candles that were previously available for sale on Etsy.ca. Under the Candles Regulations of the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, these candles have been banned, according to Health Canada.

The department has identified the relight candles as posing a potential fire hazard. As a result, the listings for these candles have been removed from the Etsy.ca platform. In response to these findings, Health Canada has contacted the international third-party seller associated with these products.

Consumers are being advised by Health Canada to cease using these candles immediately to ensure their safety. This notice is part of the government agency's ongoing efforts to uphold public safety by regulating consumer products available in the market.
