Multi-purpose lighters shaped like matchsticks

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

What happened

Amen Wardy Home is recalling multi-purpose lighters shaped like matchsticks because they lack child-resistant mechanisms required by federal safety standards. These refillable gas-fueled lighters have a brushed silver metal finish with a black plastic slide lever and a red-painted end designed to look like a wooden match. They were sold in 7-inch and 14-inch sizes in clear plastic sleeves without labeling on the lighter or packaging. Young children can operate these lighters, creating a fire hazard.

If you own these lighters, you should contact Amen Wardy Home for instructions on obtaining a refund. You must dispose of the lighters in compliance with all state and local requirements, but they should not be incinerated or punctured.
