As a part-time employee of Yankee Candle Company, we use no lead wicks (most better candle manufacturers don't). Remember: Always keep the wick trimmed to 1/4"; this will eliminate carbon build-up which can blacken walls and ceilings if not done. If this is done, burning candles are safe. Also remember to never, ever leave a burning candle unattended.

As a part-time employee of Yankee Candle Company...

Baaaaaaahhhhh. As someone who has been subjected to an endless succession of girly scents at the hands of his wife, I'd like to know when Yankee Candle will have some scents that are a touch more masculine? Where's the leather-scented tart? Beer scent? The one that smells like warm motor oil?

It's discrimination, I say. Baking cookies - bleh. Lavender - blah. Roses - feh. I want scents for me... ;)

That's good to know, I use their candles and love them. Also, Pier 1 candles are led free, in fact they advertise that throughout the store.
