The hazard: Child-resistant packaging failure

Child-resistant packaging failed testing here, which is the specific defect the Poison Prevention Packaging Act exists to catch.

What the notice says: The recalled lighters violate the mandatory standard for multipurpose lighters because they do not have the required child-resistant mechanisms, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.

Why it matters: The packaging does not meet the child-resistant standard the Poison Prevention Packaging Act requires for this type of product. A young child can open it, and the contents are harmful if swallowed.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child has swallowed any of the contents, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222 straight away — before searching online, and before trying to make them sick. Have the container with you so you can read the ingredients and strength. Call 911 instead if the child is drowsy, having a seizure, struggling to breathe or unconscious.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves Topkay Torch Lighters. The metal lighters are black and come in a two-pack. "Honest" is printed on the front of lighter.

What to do about Packaging

Child-resistant packaging failed testing here, which is the specific defect the Poison Prevention Packaging Act exists to catch.

  1. Move the product somewhere a child genuinely cannot reach — a high, locked cupboard rather than a high shelf.
  2. Check whether you have other packs from the same lot in a bathroom cabinet or a garage.
  3. Do not decant it into another container, especially not a drinks bottle or a food jar.
  4. Save the Poison Control number, 1-800-222-1222, into your phone now rather than looking for it in an emergency.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lighters and contact Xiyude for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the lighters by pulling out the black adjuster knob on the top of the product, then contact [email protected] and submit a photo of proof of destruction to receive a full refund. Consumers should dispose of the recalled lighters in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.

Company contact: Contact Xiyude at [email protected].
