Watson alleges he lit it "the way in which a reasonable customer would expect to utilize a candle" for the first time in February.

Goop gave RadarOnline.com an exclusive statement, making it clear they stand by their brand and suggesting Watson's lawsuit is just a money grab. 

"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. Here, Heretic—the brand that supplies the candle— has substantiated the product’s performance and safety through industry standard testing," a spokesperson for Goop said.
