Abstract

The Commission issues performance requirements for the child resistance of multi-purpose lighters. These requirements address unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with multi-purpose lighters that can be operated by children under age 5. Multi-purpose lighters are hand-held flame-producing products that operate on fuel and have an ignition mechanism. They typically are used to light devices such as charcoal and gas grills and fireplaces. Devices intended primarily for igniting smoking materials are excluded; many such products are already subject to a child-resistance standard at 16 CFR Part 1210.
