Are Luminara Candles Non Toxic?

Hi,
I was wondering, does anyone know if Luminara Candles are non toxic? I can't find info on it anywhere, including on their website - I did see on a Google search that they're "safe for children and pets", so I'm thinking perhaps they are (non toxic)?
Thanks so much for any help!

The candle "may" be......but what about the battery?

@DooneyGal2 - DH is a veterinarian. We no longer burn "real" candles, but our home is filled with Luminara. I'm sure he would have said no if he was concerned about what they are made from. Smiley Happy

@beach-mom.  Was the decision to stop burning real candles because of the scents and soot? 

 

I was with a friend at Costco today and he passed on the scented plug ins. His house normally is overloaded with scent and he realized some deodorizers may may be somewhat toxic.  I fully agree.

@rockygems123 - Burning paraffin releases toxic fumes that can harm their lungs. Also, pets have a higher sense of smell than humans. Essential oils, like the ones you find in "spa" type candles, can bother cats and cause respiratory problems.

It would never occur to me to be concerned about a Luminara candle since there's nothing burning.  I'd put it in the same category as a flashlight.
