What is the danger
This product poses a risk of burns and fire because during combustion of the candle, the sunflower seeds incorporated in the candle catch fire and a particularly powerful flame reaches height of approximately 10-11cm, resulting in a total destruction of the candle. Given the flame intensity, it is likely that burns may occur. Under certain conditions, a fire can also be generated in closed spaces, due to the powerful flame.
