Six injuries have also been reported including lacerations and severe burns.
The recall involves certain Threshold Glass Jar 5.5 ounce, 1-Wick, 14-ounce 3-Wick, and 20-ounce 3-Wicks in multiple scents.
The recalled item numbers are printed at the bottom of the glass jars, which sold for between $3 and $20 each.
