Ask:
I just received an email from my aunt, an insurance agent. She has a client who just went through a horrible house fire and found out the cause was a plug in air freshener. Turns out most of them are made from really cheap plastic and get too hot and can cause a fire.
Please if you have these, be very careful. I am sure some are made better than others, but it's still something to watch.
Answer:
Yeah, dh (a firefighter) won't allow these in our house for this exact reason.
Answer:
I never even thought about them being dangerous and have to admit that I had three plugged in at our house until I got that email. I love them, but it's just not worth the risk.
Answer:
I also quit using them and threw them all away. Just way too scary for my thinking!!! Better to be safe than smell really pretty I guess!!
Answer:
I have three plugged in right now I have to have one in our bedroom or it stinks. Now im worried, plus I have some in the closet. I stock pile them when they go on sale. NOW what do I do?
Answer:
Answer:
I unplug mine when we go out of town, but it doesn't seem to get very hot. I have the White Barn Candle brand.
