What happened

A novelty lighter shaped like a camera has been recalled due to fire and burn hazards, particularly because its unusual appearance makes it attractive to children under 51 months of age. The product is a metal refillable lighter in grey that resembles a camera with a lens and lid; when opened it emits light and displays changing pictures of women. The lighter was sold in cardboard boxes labeled "Smoking sets" and "High-grade lighter" with instructions and warnings only in English, not in Bulgarian as required.

Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market, recalled from consumers, and destroyed. The source does not specify what actions affected consumers should take beyond the general recall notice.
