The hazard
The lighters fail to meet federal safety standards because they lack child-resistant mechanisms. If young children gain access to these multi-purpose lighters, they can pose a fire hazard or burn risk.
Incidents reported: Aristo has not received any reports of incidents or injuries involving the Fire Stick lighters.
What to do now
Consumers should stop using these lighters immediately and return them to their place of purchase for a full refund.
