A Texas man is suing Goop, the wellness brand of American actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Its scented candle from its range, which is the name This smells like my vagina has exploded. Now he is demanding damages of at least $ 5 million.

A certain Colby Watson filed a lawsuit against Gwyneth Paltrow in a court in California on Monday. According to documents obtained by NBC News, he claims that his scented candle worth $ 75 ($ 67.50) exploded the first time it burned. About three hours after lighting, the accessory would have “exploded” on his bedside table and “high flames came out”. The candle is completely blackened, just like a ring on his bedside table. The man himself was unharmed.
Watson assures that at the time of the incident there was nothing above or around the candle that could easily catch fire. He also mentions that he read the indications on the packaging, which advise that the candle should not burn for more than two hours per session. He admits that his copy burned an hour longer, but still wants the damages because, according to him, the warning “doesn’t address the real danger.” In addition, he also wants others who have experienced the same to be sufficiently compensated. Explosions of the vagina candle have been reported in the recent past. Four months ago, a British woman reported that the thing exploded in her living room.
“We believe this allegation is frivolous and an attempt to obtain large damages thanks to a popular product,” said a Goop spokesman on Watson’s claim. “We stand behind the brands we sell and also their safety. Heretic – the brand that supplies the candle – has guaranteed the product’s performance and safety through industry standard testing. ” The This Smells Like My Vaginacandle is now sold out on the sites of both companies. The collection also has other special candles in the collection, including one This Smells Like My Orgasm-variant.
