Finnish Safety Technology Authority (Tukes) has issued on a warning on exploding LED candles.
There have been several cases on few days before Christmas 2008 where some people have lighted a LED candle with a match.
The LED candle has started burning quite normally, but then after few minutes it has exploded.
So be careful what candle you burn and what not...
