Multi-purpose lighters shaped like matchsticks

## Hazards

The lighters lack child-resistant mechanisms that meet federal safety standards. Young children could operate these lighters, which poses a fire hazard.

The Amen Wardy Home store in Caesar's Palace, in Las Vegas, Nev., and the firm's Web site sold these lighters, from July 2002 through January 2003, for between $10 and $20.

## Country of manufacture

China

## Description

The lighters are refillable gas-fueled lighters shaped like a wooden match. The lighters have a brushed, silver-colored metal finish with a black plastic slide lever that is moved to ignite the lighter. The end of the lighter is painted red to resemble the head of a match. The lighters were available in both 7-inch- and 14-inch-long sizes. The lighters were sold in a clear plastic sleeve and do not have any labeling on either the lighter or package.
