CPSC Warns Consumers to Stop Using Fire Blaze Multipurpose Lighters Immediately Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Fire and Burn Hazards; Violate Mandatory Standard for Multipurpose Lighters

November 5, 2026 from the CPSC :

Fire Blaze 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. In addition, the lighters failed to meet the pre-market lighter submission requirement needed to demonstrate that the lighters feature child-resistant mechanisms and ensuring their safety and compliance with U.S. regulations.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Fire Blaze lighters. The 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.

This warning involves Fire Blaze lighters. The lighters come in grey with wood pattern handle, gold with wood pattern handle, and black (grey with carbon fiber pattern handle). The lighters do not have any labeling.
