Is my product affected?

Nibo Space 5 and Nibo Space 19 Novelty Lighters

  • Brand Quality Fresh Cigars, of Troy, Mich.

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

What happened

Quality Fresh Cigars has recalled two styles of novelty lighters that were imported without being tested to comply with child-resistant requirements set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recalled lighters are the Nibo Space 5 (model 12679), a silver-colored spaceship-shaped lighter approximately 2 7/8" tall with "SPACE" and "NIBO" markings, and the Nibo Space 19 (model 13919), a 3" tall metal toy-like lighter with "NIBO" in a raised circle. These lighters pose fire and burn hazards to young children because they lack required child-resistant features.

Consumers should immediately stop using these lighters and dispose of them in compliance with state or local requirements, without incinerating or puncturing them. Consumers can receive a gift certificate worth $19.95 if they purchased the lighter or $5.00 if they received it as a gift by mailing a signed Disposal Notification Form to QFC-Nibo Recall, 1241 Chicago Road, Troy, MI 48083.
