They violate mandatory standards for multipurpose lighters, lack required child-resistant mechanisms, and create risks of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.


About 7,500 lighters were sold online on Amazon in the US between September 2025 and October 2025.


Stop using these recalled lighters. To obtain a full refund, destroy the lighter by pulling out the black adjuster knob on the top of the product. Then contact the company  by email at [email protected] and submit a photo showing proof of destruction. These recalled lighters should be disposed of according to your state and local waste disposal procedures.
