Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Specialty Sales Co. Inc. is recalling two types of novelty lighters because they lack child-resistant mechanisms required by federal law. The first type is a refillable liquid-fueled lighter featuring various decals such as a frog with a banjo on a lily pad, a man in the moon, Tweety Bird, a unicorn, or a skull and crossbones, with "Made in China" printed on a label. The second type is a refillable gas-fueled lighter with a dolphin molded on the side, where the dolphin's head serves as a hinged cover for the ignition button and flame port. Without proper child-resistant features, young children could operate these lighters, creating fire and burn hazards.

Consumers who own these lighters should stop using them immediately and return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund.
