Prestige Import Group Supernova and Typhoon Lighters
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
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 Recall Registry rates this serious — The agency describes a risk of serious injury or death.
