Prometheus International Novelty Lighters
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Prometheus International Inc. is recalling novelty lighters because they lack child-resistant mechanisms required by law. The recalled lighters include the Intruder model, which resembles a miniature propane or scuba tank with a black cylindrical body and clear transparent tank section, and the Jupiter model, which has a gun-like shape with a metal body, black top and bottom, and hinged cover. Young children can ignite these lighters, creating a fire hazard.
Consumers who have purchased these lighters should stop using them immediately and return them to the store where they were purchased for a free replacement lighter with a child-resistant mechanism.

The lighters do not have any child-resistant mechanisms, as required by the Consumer Product Safety Act. Young children could ignite the lighters, presenting a fire hazard.
Consumers should stop using these lighters immediately and return them to the store where purchased, for a free replacement lighter with a child-resistant mechanism.
These lighters were discovered by CPSC by monitoring Internet web sites as part of Operation Safe Online Shopping (SOS). Operation SOS, launched in December 1999, is a CPSC initiative that monitors web sites for recalled, illegal and potentially hazardous consumer products being sold in cyberspace. The Intruder model lighter looks like a miniature propane or scuba tank, with a rectangular sleeve on the side into which the bottom part of the black activation/ignition button fits. The top two-thirds of the cylindrical tank body and the sleeve are black, and the tank is clear and transparent. A label on one side of the sleeve reads "Prometheus." A cover hides the flame port. The Jupiter model lighter has a metal body with a black top and bottom. The lighter has a distinctive gun-like shape. It has a hinged cover for the flame port. The cover opens when the ignition switch is pressed or the hinged cover is pulled back, and a high-intensity torch flame is produced. On the end opposite the flame port, a black screw-on cover hides the refill port. The brand name "Prometheus" is engraved into the lower area of one side of the lighter body.
