Do Glade or Yankee candles have lead wicks?
19 Jan 2005, Massachusetts USA I am questioning black soot in my home due to Glade or Yankee Candles. I have soot everywhere in my new home and it is getting worse. I just moved in my new apartment with my roommate on November 15 and of course wanted it to smell nice so we bought those glade plug-ins and Yankee candles. I have used Yankee candles for as long as i can remember and never had this problem, till glade candles started being used. My house is covered in soot from the bathroom to inside of my fridge. I need to know if this is caused from lead in the wick or from the candle itself. I am afraid this will be hazardous to my health and breathing as I have asthma. I have contacted Glade and Yankee Candle and waiting for a return phone call. I will go home tonight and clean my home from top to bottom, but am still worried about this problem.
