On the light side

Gwynneth Paltrow's Goop line apparently makes candles that not only smell like, well, remember that painting from Gustave Corbet, but also appear to be flammable in a way that, well, ordinary paraffin and beeswax are not.  As a result, a couple of customers are dealing with some fairly significant burns.

I would dare say it's one of the greatest moments in quality assurance by a company since Lululemon decided not to control the sources of the fabric used for their products, or since the Russian Army decided that routine maintenance wasn't that necessary for their trucks and armored vehicles.

Putin et Goop delenda est!
