The product
This recall involves two Prestige-branded metal butane torch lighters. The Supernova gray and black lighters have a rugged, industrial look, a textured grip with a mesh-like metal panel on the side with three horizontal bands and a cap at the top of the flame valve. The Typhoon rectangular lighters are silver, black and black/silver with a metal and matte finish and have the ignition trigger on the side with a cap on top of the flame valve.
What can happen
The recalled lighters violate the mandatory standard for cigarette lighters because they do not have the required child-resistant mechanism, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards. In addition, the lighters failed to meet the pre-market lighter submission requirement needed to demonstrate that the lighters feature child-resistant mechanisms and ensuring their safety and compliance with U.S. regulations.
The fix
Consumers should stop using the recalled lighters immediately and contact Prestige Import Group for a full refund or store credit. Consumers will be asked to write "Recalled" in permanent marker and send a photo of the marked lighter to salesdept2@prestigeimportgroup.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.
