Via nbcnews.com. A Texas man is suing Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle company Goop Inc. over a vagina-scented candle that he says "exploded" after burning for a few hours.
Colby Watson filed the class action lawsuit Monday, saying he bought the $75 candle called "This Smells Like My Vagina" from Goop's website in January. Watson said he lit the candle for the first time on his nightstand in February when it allegedly "exploded" and became "engulfed in high flames" after burning for about three hours, according to the court document.
Even though there's a warning on the Goop website warning not to burn the "This Smells Like My Vagina" scented candle for more than two hours, Watson is seeking a jury trial and triple compensation as well as punitive damages of more than $5 million for him and others who "through no fault of their own, purchased defective and dangerous vagina-scented candles," according to the complaint.
He says the explosion left a "black burn ring" on his nightstand. So, this guy had a vagina scented candle burning on his nightstand next to his bed for over 3 hours? I'm guessing he's a single man?
Goop describes the candle as a "funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent, this candle is made with geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed to put us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth."
