Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle company is being sued after a man alleged one of its "vagina-scented" candles "exploded".

Colby Watson, from Texas, said he bought the infamous $75 "This Smells Like My Vagina" candle from Goop's website in January.

After burning it for about three hours on his bedside table, he alleged the candle "exploded" and became "engulfed in high flames", according to a court document.

He said the blaze left a "black burn ring" on his bedside table and the candle jar was "charred and black".

However, no injuries were reported.

The complainant is seeking a jury trial and triple compensation as well as punitive damages of more than $5m (£3.5m) for him and others who "through no fault of their own, purchased defective and dangerous vagina-scented candles", the court document said.

A woman in the UK also alleged that her Goop candle exploded in January.

Writing in The Guardian, Jody Thompson said the product - which was the same model as the one bought by Mr Watson - exploded "a few minutes after" lighting it.

Anyone who buys from Goop deserves to be covered in an explosion of snatch wax.

As funny as this is I'm not sure I follow their theory on damages; at least the McDonalds hot coffee woman had burns to show for it.

Yeah, apparently she actually suffered 3rd degree burns to 6% of her body (I honestly wasn't aware that fast-food coffee was that hot to begin with).
 
A gay Rabbit friend(who now identifies as a Doe) bought a Penis shaped candle for his hutch. He woke up with it in his bushy tail after going to an all night Ketamine party at the Epstein animal shelter. He sued the candle maker and Ebay for 2.5 million dollars. Got 2.1 mil after a settlement.
 
Honey, I blew up the vagina scented candle!

From what I understand with the story to that, it was a McDonald's in the business district of Chicago, office workers would get coffee and then wait until the long trek to their offices to drink it, so they would complain about it being cold, leading to the McDonald's making their coffee nuclear hot beyond what is the normal temperature.

In other words they were doing something dangerous and rightfully got sued for it.
 
Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop is a meme at this point. Everyone knows how horrible her and her "products" are considering popular YouTubers have covered her shit thoroughly, so anyone that unironically uses them is fucking retarded by default.

On the other hand, I hope this dude get's his jury trial, and I hope to god it's aired live on either TV or YouTube. I need to see everyone's reactions in the courtroom regarding vagina-scented candles... this just SCREAMS shit-show.

Na, worse. McDonald's corporate policy was to serve the coffee dangerously hot to deter people from asking for their free refills. It was right up there with Ford deciding to skip a single bolt on the Pinto's fuel tank in terms of "dumbass penny pinching decisions", just with you know, a flaming snatch instead of flaming cars.

It was so hot it fused her labia together and basically destroyed her entire groin area. Her medical bills were insane. McDonalds legal team argued it wasn't worth as much money as she was asking because she was done having children. And they smeared her so badly people still make fun of her as a symbol of how Americans will sue over anything, "dumb bitch that sued because her coffee was hot, like what did she expect?" Not 190 fucking degrees hot.

Wow, real classy approach by the lawyers, "well her cooter's worthless anyway as a baby maker, so who gives a shit?"
