Q: Does Yankee Candle Company use lead wicks?
A: There has been a good deal of recent coverage in the media regarding possible health issues relating to candles containing lead wicks, some of which has unfortunately been confusing or misleading. In order to eliminate any concern or confusion on the part of our guests and consumers in general, THE YANKEE CANDLE COMPANY WOULD LIKE TO ASSURE YOU THAT YANKEE CANDLE DOES NOT USE LEAD WICKS IN ANY OF OUR CANDLE PRODUCTS. Moreover, the National Candle Association, of which Yankee Candle is a long-standing member, strongly supports the Consumer Products Safety Commission's recent work toward banning the use of leaded wicks. All of our products are today manufactured with pure cotton wicks that are free from lead and completely safe. At Yankee Candle we care deeply about the health and well-being of our guests and customers. After all, many of them are our own families, friends and loved ones. We are therefore firmly committed to producing high quality candle products that can be enjoyed and enjoyed safely. This has been our mission for over 30 years and we will continue to strive to offer the very best candles available.

YANKEE CANDLE DISCLAIMER: The ERC is pleased to offer our latest fundraiser, featuring Yankee Candles. The Yankee Candle Company has a long and proud tradition of corporate citizenship in supporting specific organizations and focused areas of charitable giving, primarily in the areas of health, education, social services and public safety.
There has been some concern over the last few years regarding potential pollutants in certain candles. While the ERC does not endorse or recommend any products, we feel it is important to inform our fundraiser participants that the Yankee Candle Company has been producing its scented candles following stringent specifications since 1969. Every Yankee Candle is made here in the USA, using exclusive fragrance oils and only the highest quality materials: pure cotton wicks, fine glassware, and premium-grade, highly refined paraffin waxes specially blended for optimum burning and fragrancing performance. There is absolutely no lead in Yankee’s wicks; in fact, Yankee is a signing member of the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission’s “no-lead wick pledge.”
Yankee Candle is proud to use only the finest quality ingredients and materials in their candles; however, it is still important that you use your candles responsibly to ensure their safe use. Please follow these guidelines from the Yankee Candle Co. to keep your candles a bright and beautiful part of your life:
Remove all packaging before lighting.
Place on a protected, heat-resistant, dry surface, away from anything that can catch fire, and out of reach of children and pets. Use holders designed for the particular candle style.
Trim wick(s) to 1/8" before lighting.
If smoking occurs, blow candle out. Trim wick(s), remove trimmings, and relight.
Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, or any combustible material.
Keep the wick centered. Avoid drafts.
Keep burning candles within sight at all times.
Keep all matches and lighters out of the reach of children.
Teach everyone in the family the rules of safe candle use.
Jars:
Handle with care; glass containers are fragile. Avoid glass-to-glass contact when removing or replacing the lid. Do not use if the jar is cracked, chipped or scratched. — Do not refill with wax.
Do not allow the flame to touch the side of the jar. The jar may become hot. Handle carefully.
To minimize wax left on the sides of the jar, burn 3 hours at a time; it is normal for some wax to be left. The amount will vary per color, fragrance and burning conditions.
Prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface by discontinuing use when 1/2" of wax remains.
Extinguish carefully before replacing the lid.
Pillars
When wax pool reaches the candle’s edge, extinguish flame and allow candle to harden before relighting. This will prevent dripping.
Tapers
To prevent possible dripping: avoid drafts, excessive vibrations or nearby heat sources.
Candle (hurricane) lamps may cause dripping due to the build up of heat. We suggest using bobeche, decorative accessories designed to catch dripping wax.
Be sure tapers are straight, and set them firmly in their holders.
Trim the taper’s wick to 1/8" before lighting.
Scented Tea Lights
Do not burn in an enclosed space like a potpourri pot. For this purpose use Yankee® Tart® Warmers (unscented tea lights), and be sure the burner is well-ventilated.
If wick smokes or builds up carbon, extinguish flame and remove the carbon before relighting.
Samplers
Burn only in an appropriate holder. Do not burn freestanding.
Wax Potpourri Tarts®
Place one or more Tarts in a dry potpourri pot, and light the unscented tea light candle beneath. We recommend using Tart Warmers, which burn with a low, controlled flame, ideal for potpourri pots. When melted, the Tart® will release its wonderful fragrance.
To change fragrances, use a potholder to pick up the potpourri pot and pour the liquid wax into a lined wastebasket. Or, you may harden the wax in a freezer, and pop it out into the palm of your hand.
Electric potpourri pots may overheat the wax, and are not recommended. Use a well-ventilated, candlelit potpourri pot, without a lid. The pot should have at least a 2-1/2" top opening.
