What happened

Transparent plastic disposable lighters in various colors, model 39029, have been recalled in Bulgaria due to fire and burn hazards. These novelty lighters feature a push-button ignition that causes the lighter body to flash in different colors, along with a refillable push button and flame control mechanism. The lighters do not comply with the European safety standard EN 13869 and are considered particularly dangerous because their flashing lights and colorful appearance attract young children, especially those under 51 months old. These products were sold in Bulgaria without safety information.

Authorities have ordered a recall of these lighters from consumers. The source does not specify what steps affected consumers should take to return or dispose of the recalled products.
