Description
Various novelty lighters which operate irregularly and have no child safety mechanism. The label on the boxes is marked with instructions for correct, safe use of the product.
Risk
The products pose a risk of fire and burns because some have no child resistant safety mechanism, others have novelty designs and on some the flame does not go out. These irregularities may result in the lighters being used inappropriately by children, causing the risk of fire or burns. These products do not comply with the relevant European standard EN ISO 9994.
