Consumers Beware of Scented Candles and Fragrance Products – What the Department of Labour Inspection Says

The Department of Labour Inspection warns consumers of potential health and safety risks from the increasing amateur production of scented candles and room fragrance products. It points out that these products, often sold through online platforms, contain chemical mixtures that can be dangerous to humans and the environment. The Department emphasizes that labeling a product as “natural” does not guarantee its safety and that proper labeling and packaging are essential. It urges consumers to prefer products with clear labeling, read the instructions carefully, and avoid products of unknown origin. Amateur production does not exempt producers from their legal obligations.
