The CPSC and VPR Brands have recalled VPR Disposable Lighters due to omission of child-resistant mechanisms and failure to comply with federal regulatory requirements for child-resistance.  Young children can easily ignite these lighters leading to fires and burns.


About 62,200 of these lighters were sold at small independent stores nationwide and online at vprbrands.com.


Stop using these dangerous lighters and contact VPR at 1-888-420-8858 or via email at [email protected] in order to receive instructions regarding the safe destruction of the lighters, submission of proof of destruction, and receipt of refunds.
