Naturally, questions linger

On Friday, Jezebel reported that candles ignited the June 25 blaze at the company’s Sag Harbor location, citing the East Hampton police blotter .
Police responded to a strange scene at Goop on Saturday evening, where two men had caught fire. They reported that rubbing alcohol had been added to candles, causing a large explosion and flames. Police were able to apply ice packs, but one man, who had a large burn on his back and ears, had to be taken by helicopter to Stony Brook University Hospital. The other, who had sustained facial burns, was transported by ambulance to Southampton Hospital.
. Why would a person put rubbing alcohol on a candle when rubbing alcohol is highly flammable even when exposed to heat, let alone an open flame? Are these men going to be okay? We certainly hope so. The frequency of purportedly Goop-related explosions is becoming alarming. First, in January 2021, London resident Jody Thompson reported that her $75 “This Smells Like My Vagina” votive “exploded and emitted huge flames, with bits flying everywhere” after she lit it.
The Cut contacted Goop for comment ahead of publication. A spokesperson for the Sag Harbor Fire Department said that, because the incident remains under investigation, they cannot provide any other details. So for now, please stay safe out there, everyone.Sources Jezebel
