MN vs. China legal tussle turns nasty over flameless candle technology

The flameless candle was born of inspiration at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, to provide eerie lighting effects for the popular Haunted Mansion attraction.

More than a decade later, flameless candle technology is the subject of a bitter legal marathon in U.S. District Court in St. Paul, as an Eden Prairie-based distributor goes toe to toe with a Chinese manufacturer of the home decor phenomenon.

While no one knows the exact size of the flameless candle market, millions of dollars in potential sales are at stake. The product has been displayed at retailers such as Restoration Hardware, Bed Bath & Beyond, Williams-Sonoma and Kohl’s.
