Recall date: April 9, 2026.
Built by the Tribune's code from CPSC's official records. No AI wrote this page. Updated Nov. 5, 2026.
- What's 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.
- The risk
The recalled lighters violate the mandatory standard for cigarette lighters because they do not have the required child-resistant mechanism, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards. 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. None reported
