What's recalled

This recall involves Royal Oak flame saber lighters. The lighters are red with a black-and-gray checkered grip and have a hands-free operation lock. The lighter bears the warning labels, "DANGER: Extremely Flammable, Content Under Pressure" and "WARNING: Only store in locked position" on the sides of the lighter. The "Royal Oak" logo is printed on the front of lighter.

The risk

The recalled lighters violate the mandatory standard for multipurpose lighters because they do not have the required child-resistant mechanisms, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.
