Texas man Colby Watson is suing Gwyneth Paltrow and her lifestyle brand Goop after one of her candles, one that smells like a vagina, exploded on his nightstand, and according to Watson, almost killing him.

Though he wasn't injured, Watson says he could have been, and according to TMZ, is currently trying to put together a $5 million class-action lawsuit for "breach of warranty and products liability."
Goop said in a statement, "We're confident this claim is frivolous and an attempt to secure an outsized payout from a press-heavy product. We stand behind the brands we carry and the safety of the products we sell."
