Jobon butane torch lighters recalled for fire and burn hazards

Jobon butane torch lighters sold online lack required child-resistant safety mechanisms and violate mandatory safety standards, posing risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn. Consumers should stop using them immediately.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The product fails a mandatory safety standard for child-resistant mechanisms and poses risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported, the hazard (fire/burn injury to children) is serious and involves a risk-of-harm product, meeting High criteria.

Plain-English summary

This recall affects Jobon butane torch lighters with side ignition triggers and hands-free operation locks. The lighters come in gray/brown, gold/black, and camouflage print, with "JOBON" printed on the side. Approximately 13,200 units were sold.

The lighters violate the mandatory safety standard for multipurpose lighters because they lack required child-resistant mechanisms. They also failed to meet the pre-market lighter submission requirement needed to demonstrate child-resistant mechanisms and ensure safety and compliance with U.S. regulations. No injuries have been reported.

The lighters were sold online through Amazon.com and Alibaba.com between April 2021 and September 2025 for between $5 and $20. Consumers should stop using the recalled lighters immediately and contact Jobon Official Store at [email protected] for a full refund. The company requests consumers write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on the lighter, submerge it in water in a bowl, and send a photo to that email address. The product should then be disposed of in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.
