Prestige Import Group has recalled about 4,300 Supernova and Typhoon metal butane torch lighters because they lack required child-resistant mechanisms. These lighters also failed to meet federal pre-market submission requirements intended to ensure their safety and compliance with U.S. regulations. The products were sold at small independent stores nationwide and online from October 2023 through March 2026 for between $7 and $10. Consumers should stop using these lighters immediately and contact the company for a full refund or store credit.
The lack of child-resistant mechanisms poses a serious risk of fire and burn injuries or death if accessed and operated by children. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should stop using the recalled lighters immediately and contact Prestige Import Group for a full refund or store credit. Consumers will be asked to write "Recalled" in permanent marker and send a photo of the marked lighter to salesdept2@prestigeimportgroup.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.
