When she woke up, the candle burnt out and there was smoke in her room and she was coughing up black soot. The soot got into her lungs and she had to go to the hospital.

When she went to feed the baby, Megan noticed that the inside of his nostrils were covered in a black substance. Even after swabbing and cleaning out his nose with saline, there were still remnants of the black substance. Panicked, she took her baby to the doctor. Scented Candles have a three hour warning on them not as a suggestion. If left on for more than three hours, wax can build up enough to form dangerous soot. This information mentions a new safety haz80
