About 62,200 DISSIM Slim Soft and Slim Jet disposable lighters are being recalled because they do not have child-resistant mechanisms and fail to meet federal safety regulations. Young children under the age of five could easily ignite these lighters, which creates a dangerous risk of fire and burns. The recalled lighters were sold in black, blue, clear, gray, red, white, and yellow colors at independent stores and online from September 2022 through November 2023. No incidents or injuries have been reported, and consumers should contact the company for a full refund after destroying the product.
Children under five years old can ignite these lighters because they lack the required safety features to prevent child operation. This poses a severe risk of accidental fires and burn injuries in households with young children.
Consumers should stop using the recalled lighters immediately and contact VPR Brands for instructions on how to destroy the device and submit proof of destruction to receive a full refund.
Lighters are 3.5 inches by 1 inch with 'DISSIM' imprinted on one side and a molded circular grip at the bottom.
