What happened

L.A. Lighter Inc. has recalled disposable cigarette lighters because their child-resistant mechanisms do not meet federal safety standards, potentially allowing young children to operate them and create a fire hazard. The recalled lighters are metal devices approximately three inches high, 7/8 inches wide, and 1/4 inch deep, featuring a design that resembles a pencil across a protractor and triangle with a ruler along the side. The flame ignites when consumers press on the pencil-shaped top. The lighters can be identified by the UPC code 7 63052 20108 5 and labels reading "MADE IN CHINA" and "SLIDE PUSH."

According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using these lighters immediately and contact L.A. Lighter to receive a full refund.
