CPSC, Arett Sales Corp. Announce Recall of Multi-Purpose Barbecue Lighters

Date: February 10, 2005
Company: Dollar stores nationwide sold the barbecue lighters from January 2001 through July 2004
Status: Ongoing
Source: CPSC

What You Should Do

Stop using this product immediately. Do not consume, use, or distribute it.

Consumers should stop using the lighters immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of the lighters in a manner that is in compliance with all state and local requirements. Lighters should not be incinerated or punctured.

Affected Products

Sold under the brand name "Kitchen Works," the recalled gas-fueled lighters have an orange or red plastic body, and a silver-colored metal nozzle. Each lighter measures 10¾ inches long.

Why Was This Recalled?

The lighters lack child-resistant mechanisms that meet federal safety standards. Young children could operate these lighters, which pose a fire hazard. Federal standards require multi-purpose lighters to have the same level of child-resistance as required in the safety standard for cigarette lighters. The child-resistant mechanism must operate safely, function for the expected life of the lighter, and not be easy to deactivate. The child-resistant mechanism also must automatically reset after each use.

Where Was This Sold?

Distribution information not available.
