Overview
- IKEA, which announced the recall Tuesday, told customers to stop using the affected candles and return them for a full refund with no receipt required.
- The recall targets SMÖJTRÄD unscented 25 cm four-packs in beige, green, light green, and light pink with article numbers 606.131.05, 406.131.06, 306.371.84, and 006.371.85.
- Units were sold from June 1, 2025 to March 4, 2026 in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.
- The risk stems from stray additional wicks embedded in the wax that can ignite during use and create an unexpectedly large flame with burn and fire danger.
- IKEA urges safe storage out of children’s reach and directs questions to national customer service lines, and reports on the recall did not cite any confirmed incidents.
