Website Disclaimer & Safety Information
Last Updated: April 18, 2026
The following Website Disclaimer and Safety Information (the "Disclaimer") governs your use of www.themelcollection.com (the "Website") and the purchase and use of all products manufactured and sold by The MEL Collection, including but not limited to handcrafted candles, bath bombs, and crochet items.
1. General Information
All information provided on this Website is for general informational and wellness purposes only. While The MEL Collection strives to provide accurate and up-to-date information regarding our products and ingredients, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of the information contained herein.
2. Handcrafted Product Variations
The MEL Collection specializes in handcrafted, small-batch production. Due to the artisanal nature of our process, customers acknowledge that there may be slight variations in color, fragrance intensity, texture, and appearance between batches and individual items. These variations are a hallmark of handmade goods and do not constitute a product defect.
3. Candle Safety
Candles are a fire hazard if not used properly. By purchasing and using candles from The MEL Collection, you agree to follow these candle safety guidelines at all times:
- Never Unattended: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish candles before leaving the room, going to sleep, or when impaired by alcohol, medication, or fatigue.
- Keep Away From Children & Pets: Keep candles out of reach of children and pets at all times.
- Safe Placement: Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface and keep away from flammable materials (curtains, bedding, paper, décor, etc.). Do not place candles on or near anything that can catch fire.
- Avoid Drafts & Heat Sources: Do not burn candles in drafty areas or near fans, vents, or open windows. Keep away from other heat sources.
- Wick Trimming: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. Discontinue use and extinguish the candle if the flame becomes too high, smokes excessively, flickers heavily, or the wick develops a “mushroom” tip.
- Burn Time & Container Heat: Do not burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool before relighting. Extinguish the flame if the container becomes excessively hot or damaged.
- Use and Extinguish Safely: Do not move a candle while it is burning or while wax is hot. Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Ensure the wick is centered after extinguishing.
- Stop Use When Necessary: Discontinue burning when there is approximately 1/2 inch of wax remaining (or sooner if you notice any safety concern).
The MEL Collection is not liable for any damage, injury, or loss resulting from the misuse, improper handling, or negligent use of our candle products.
4. Product Ingredients & Allergies
Our bath bombs, candles, and other wellness products may contain essential oils, fragrance oils (where noted), botanicals, and other natural ingredients. Individual sensitivities vary.
- Review Ingredients: Always review the product description and ingredient list (when provided) prior to use, especially if you have known allergies or sensitivities to specific plants, oils, butters, salts, or other ingredients.
- Patch Test / Skin Sensitivity Test: For bath and body products, we recommend performing a small skin sensitivity (“patch”) test before full use. Apply a small amount to a limited area of skin and wait 24 hours. Do not use if irritation occurs.
- Discontinue If Reaction Occurs: If irritation, redness, itching, burning, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional as appropriate.
- External Use Only / Do Not Ingest: Bath and body products are for external use only. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
- Bath Safety: Bath products may contain oils that can make bathtub surfaces slippery. Use caution when entering and exiting the tub and rinse the tub after use.
- Environment & Sensitivities: Strong scents and essential oils may be irritating to some individuals and pets. Use in well-ventilated areas and discontinue use if discomfort occurs.

6. Handcrafted Crochet Items
Our crochet section features hand-crafted pieces. Please ensure these items are used for their intended purpose. While we strive for the highest quality in construction, small parts or loose fibers may pose a choking hazard to young children or pets. Adult supervision is recommended.
7. Custom Orders and Personalized Goods
The MEL Collection offers customizable products for special events (e.g., Sweet 15, bachelorette parties). Once a custom design is approved by the customer and production has begun, changes or cancellations may not be possible.
