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.

Watson claims to only have been burning the candle for "three hours or less," and though a warning on the website says that you shouldn't burn it for more than two hours at a time, Watson believes that is insufficient.


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."
