Novelty, shocking lighter
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
This recall involves a novelty lighter shaped like a pistol that produces an electric shock when the trigger is pulled. The lighter measures approximately 10x7.5x2.5 cm and is black with a silver-colored handle, trigger, and cocking lever. The flame is produced by pressing the cocking lever. The product is dangerous because the electric circuit powered by a battery creates a risk of electric shock to users. Additionally, because the lighter resembles a toy, it is particularly attractive and hazardous to small children.
The importer has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market and initiated a recall from consumers. The lighters were sold in boxes containing 12 items or individually in blister packs. Each package includes a warning label stating the lighter emits electrical shock, may interfere with electrical devices such as pacemakers, and should be kept away from children and patients. The product was manufactured in China under the model name "Withele Tricity" and was reported by Greece. The source does not specify what actions affected consumers should take regarding this recall.
