"The lighters do not have child-resistant mechanisms and were not tested to the federal regulatory requirements for child resistance," the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission wrote in a news release. "Young children under 5 years old could ignite the lighters, posing fire and burn hazards."
The lighters were sold nationwide and online at vprbrands.com.
