Safety Information For Tea-lights and candles: Place holders on a surface that will not be damaged by heat. Do not burn on a television or other warm place. Tealights are suitable for lanterns or for holders which have holes in them as the tealight case will hold the wax as it melts. Nightlights are suitable for lighting uses. Do not use in food warmers or vapourisers. Do not use in oil burners or lanterns where there is less than 8cm / 3 inches of space above the flame.
Candle Safety General Information Never leave burning candles unattended. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions supplied with candles and candle holders. Burn out of reach of children and pets. Extinguish candles with a candle snuffer. Do not blow them out. Never use water to extinguish a candle. Ensure candles are placed at least 10cm / 4 inches apart and allow headroom above the candle for the heat to disperse. Ensure candles are burned away from flammable items. Candles should be burned away from other sources of heat such as television sets and away from direct sunlight. Candles should be burned in an area free from draughts. Trim wick to 1cm / ½ inch before lighting or relighting. If the candle smokes, extinguish and trim the wick. Remove all packaging and labels before use. Use a suitable non-flammable holder. Ensure candles are burned in an upright position. To avoid damage to surfaces, always place candles and candle holders on a surface that will not be damaged by heat e.g. ceramic tiles or plates. Table mats are NOT suitable. Do not move candles when lit or the wax is still liquid. Novelty candles are designed to be decorative. Burn on a large holder as irregularly shaped novelty candles may drip profusely.
Safety Information For Glass, Tin and Ceramic wax filled items Never let the flame come into contact with the container. Place holders on a surface that will not be damaged by heat. Do not use if the container is cracked, chipped or scratched. Extinguish tin candles before replacing the lid. Extinguish candle when ½cm / ¼inch of wax remains.

Understanding the Safety Labels on Your Products Hazards & Warnings explained Fragrance oils contain a wide range of ingredients and some of these may cause skin irritation, which could lead to an allergic reaction if the fragrance oil were to come into contact with the skin. The same ingredients or other ingredients might be toxic to aquatic environment. Where these ingredients are found in a high enough concentration, in the final diffuser to be a hazard, then we have to list these on the label. We also have to advise you of how to manage these hazards. This is why you will see diffusers with an exclamation mark and a dead fish symbol followed by ingredients on the label. These are there by law as we have to list them. These are the only 3 possible images you will find on our Price’s diffusers, and, some products have no pictograms triggered at all. Please be assured, we have taken every precaution to ensure the safety of our customers, and only use fragrance oils which have been vetted and contain the least possible sensitisers and hazards. All our wax melts and candles are CLP compliant. So what is CLP? CLP stands for Classification, Labelling & Packaging. It’s a piece of legislation that all candle & diffuser makers have to comply with to sell their products legally in Europe and the UK. In layman terms, we, the manufacturer, have to tell you, the customer, what (if any) the hazards are in our candles, and label them accordingly, so that you can look at the label, and immediately see what, if any, hazards the product presents. The label will include (where necessary) a signal word, image, and hazard statement for each hazard class and category. Precautionary statements may also be provided. As of June 2015, candles fall into this legislation where they contain fragrance oil. It is not just candles that CLP legislation applies to and you may already have noticed that several household products such as bleach and washing up liquid will have warning labels on them.
