What happened

High-grade lighter novelty lighters marketed as "Smoking sets" have been recalled due to burn and fire hazards, particularly for children under 51 months of age. These refillable metal lighters feature an unusual appearance with a red color, a lid displaying images of women that change with viewing angle, and produce music and red blinking light. The lighters do not comply with European Commission regulations prohibiting novelty lighters from being sold in the market.

The lighters were offered for sale in cardboard boxes with instructions and warnings provided only in English, with no Bulgarian language labeling. Authorities have ordered withdrawal from the market, consumer recall, and destruction of the products. The record does not specify what affected consumers should do in response to this recall.
