Calico Brands is recalling about 175,000 Scripto Premium Torches because they violate mandatory safety standards for multipurpose lighters. These lighters pose a serious risk of fire and burns to anyone using them. The torches were sold nationwide at Walmart and Home Depot stores and online from November 2024 through August 2025 for about $15. Consumers should immediately stop using these torches and contact the company or return them to the store for a full refund or credit.
The recalled torches do not meet mandatory federal safety requirements for multipurpose lighters, which can lead to uncontrolled flames or internal failures that cause fires and burn injuries. While no injuries have been reported yet, the violation of these standards presents a deadly hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled torches and return them to the retailer for a full refund or store credit or contact Calico Brands for instructions on how to return the torches and receive a full refund. After contacting Calico Brands, consumers will receive a shipping label and appropriate hazmat packaging to return the torches free of charge.
Product features an adjustable flame, hands-free operation lock, and a metal base with black velvet on the bottom.
