What happened

Bulgarian authorities have recalled novelty lighters marketed as "Smoking Sets" or "High-grade Lighter" because the product poses a burn and fire risk, particularly to children under 51 months old. The lighters are refillable metal lighters with rubber casing and a lid that emit colored lights (red, blue, and yellow) when activated. The product was sold in cardboard boxes with instructions and warnings only in English, not in Bulgarian, and does not comply with European Commission regulations prohibiting novelty lighters from being placed on the market.

Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers, with destruction of remaining stock. The source does not specify what steps consumers should take if they have purchased this product.
