Lighters for hot plates
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Two models of gas lighters designed for hot plates are subject to a sales ban and market withdrawal due to safety concerns. The "FONE HC CRENE" refined series lighter has a yellow plastic handle with a red tip and an on/off switch but no flame regulator, while the "GAS MATCH" lighter features a white plastic handle with red and green ends, an on/off button, and a flame regulation button. Both products fail to meet the required safety standard EN ISO 9994 because they do not adequately resist high temperatures, fuel loss, and prolonged burning, creating a burn hazard to consumers.
A total of 6,200 units of these lighters were distributed across both models. The recall was initiated by authorities in Bulgaria. The source does not specify what action affected consumers should take with their products.
