Hazard

The multi-purpose lighters fail to meet federal safety standards because they might not contain a child-resistant mechanism, posing a potential fire and burn hazard to young children.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lighters and contact YMCA Trading to arrange for return of the lighter for a refund.

Incidents & injuries

None reported.
