In an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com, the actress's lifestyle brand is fiercely defending their "This Smells Like My Vagina" candles after a Texas man sued the company claiming it caught fire and could have killed him. 

Revealing they are "confident this claim is frivolous," Goop says the man behind the class-action lawsuit is just attempting to "secure an outsized payout from a press-heavy product."

A spokesperson for Goop tells RadarOnline.com, they "stand behind the brands we carry and the safety of the products we sell."

And despite the man's claim that Goop's  "limited warning" on the $75 candle is "insufficient," Goop says, "Here, Heretic—the brand that supplies the candle— has substantiated the product’s performance and safety through industry standard testing."

According to documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Colby Watson claims he bought one of the $75 candles that Paltrow hawks on her Goop site in January.

He purchased the item for the sole purpose of using it as a "personal home decoration" but instead, he claims it ruined his bedside table and could have caused a massive fire.
