A mother-of-two was left with agonising second-degree burns after a tealight exploded in her face.
Marnie Hobbs took her Home Bargains tealight outside when it began 'crackling' after burning for nearly two hours.
The 52-year-old from Chandler's Ford, near Southampton, Hants, watched as the flame grew bigger and as she went to blow it out, boiling wax splattered over her face and chest.
She said what happened in the aftermath remains 'hazy' until she woke up at the emergency department at Winchester hospital.
Now, more than seven weeks on, Ms Hobbs is calling for Home Bargains to take accountability.
