What should a candle warning label say?

In the text-only format described by ASTM F2058, the label starts with the safety alert symbol followed by the word WARNING in bold capitals, then the statements “Burn within sight”, “Keep away from things that catch fire” and “Keep away from children”. Many makers add pets and burning tips such as trimming the wick.
