Zhongshan Zhongnam Candle Manufacturer Co., Ltd. of China
The candle has a clamp (vise) that leads the end of the rope candle at the top. When clamped properly it is supposed to self-extinguish the candle when the burning wick meets the metal clamp (vise).

This can lead to the flame continuing down into the coiled section of the candle, which can then ignite and cause fire damage.
