Target has recalled about 2.2 million scented candles.

The recall, announced Thursday, involves Threshold glass jar candles that could break while lit.

The issue poses a risk of lacerations or burns to consumers, according to a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) notice.

Target recalled one-wick 5.5-ounce and three-wick 20-ounce scented candles exclusively available for purchase across the country at retail locations and online, the notice said. Sales happened over a nearly 3½-year time frame from February 2020 to July 2023.

"Target is committed to providing high-quality and safe products to our guests," a company spokesperson told FOX Business. "Target is issuing a recall of certain Threshold candles due to potential safety concerns identified in the CPSC press release. If a guest owns any items that have been recalled, they should return them for a full refund."

Returns can be made by going to a Target location or sending the candles back by mail with a prepaid return label provided by the retailer when contacted, according to the notice. The company will give a refund for the products.
