I had an oil change at jiffy lube at 10,000 miles. I have just gone to another jiffy lube and was told that the oil is one inch too high. I have not added any oil. I have driven in normal conditions for approximately 7,500 miles. Will this damage my car in any way? Do I need to check anything out in my car to confirm that it is fine? I read that my catalytic converter could be at risk from this. Is this something that I need to worry about?

Thank you!

My car is a 2014 Kia Optima

It is something you need to worry about. Most likely as Handy Howie points out, it could be fuel leaking through the fuel pump into the crankcase of your engine, raising the apparent amount of oil, but now it would be diluted with fuel. so far you probably have a really clean engine if this is what's happening, but as it gets worse, this could cause trouble. Best to have a qualified mechanic determine the cause of this and fix it.
