Young's Association Inc. is recalling approximately 900,000 disposable cigarette lighters distributed between June and September 1995 through convenience stores and gas stations in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Missouri, New York, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, and Puerto Rico. The lighters, which sold for 50 to 75 cents each in assorted colors (blue, green, pink, purple, and clear) with metal caps stamped "CiG" and "SNAPLOC," do not comply with safety standards because at least 50 percent of them can be ignited without using the built-in safety devices designed to prevent young children from operating them.
According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using the lighters immediately and keep them away from children. The lighters should be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
