United States
Prestige Import Group’s Supernova metal butane torch lighters (gray and black with textured grip, mesh-like side panel with three horizontal bands and a cap at the top of the flame valve) and Typhoon rectangular lighters (silver, black, or black/silver with side ignition trigger and a cap on top of the flame valve) are recalled. They were recalled because they lack the required child-resistant mechanism and failed the pre-market lighter submission, creating a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards. Owners should stop using them immediately, contact Prestige Import Group for a full refund or store credit, mark the lighter “Recalled” in permanent marker, send a photo of the marked lighter to salesdept2@prestigeimportgroup.com, and then dispose of the product according to state and local waste disposal procedures.
What's being recalled
This recall involves two Prestige-branded metal butane torch lighters. The Supernova gray and black lighters have a rugged, industrial look, a textured grip with a mesh-like metal panel on the side with three horizontal bands and a cap at the top of the flame valve. The Typhoon rectangular lighters are silver, black and black/silver with a metal and matte finish and have the ignition trigger on the side with a cap on top of the flame valve.
Manufactured in: China.
The hazard

In addition, the lighters failed to meet the pre-market lighter submission requirement needed to demonstrate that the lighters feature child-resistant mechanisms and ensuring their safety and compliance with U.S. regulations.
Incidents and injuries: None reported
