Royal Oak Enterprises LLC has recalled 190,560 flame lighters due to the device posing a severe injury risk.
Consumer Product Safety Commission officials said the impacted lighters violate the "mandatory standard for multipurpose lighters because they don’t have the required child-resistant mechanisms, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards."
To date, there have been no injuries reported from use of the lighters, with the CPSC adding that the products also violate the labeling requirements under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act by missing required safety information.
