Plain-English summary
Two Prestige-branded metal butane torch lighters are being recalled. The Supernova lighters are grey and black with a rugged, industrial look, a textured grip with a mesh-like metal side panel with three horizontal bands, and a cap at the top of the flame valve. The Typhoon lighters are rectangular and sold in silver, black and black/silver. About 4,300 units are affected.
The 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 burns. The lighters also failed to meet other requirements of the standard. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
The lighters were sold at small independent stores nationwide and online at prestigeimportgroup.com from October 2023 through March 2026 for between $7 and $10.
Consumers should stop using the recalled lighters immediately and contact Prestige Import Group for a full refund or store credit. Consumers will be asked to write "Recalled" on the lighter in permanent marker and send a photo of the marked lighter to the firm.
