You may have heard the reports. They say some candles can put enough lead into the air to endanger small children. So Consumer Watch bought dozens of candles in Oklahoma City and sent them to a lab for lead testing.
Lead poisoning affects the brain.
It can cause a person to become anemic and the minor symptoms are dizziness and nausea. So if candles are putting out lead at higher levels than the recommended federal guidelines, it can be dangerous to you and your family. So Consumer Watch decided to test some candles we bought around town. Quantum Lab of Oklahoma City tested the the wick, the wax and the soot from the burning candles. The lab results show ALL of the candles we bought and tested contain lead.
