The lighters' child-resistant mechanisms are frequently ineffective. Young children are able to operate the lighters, posing a fire hazard. 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday. 01-128 DFS Group Ltd. , of San Francisco, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 65,000 cigarette lighters packaged in souvenir sets with ashtrays, pencils or pens. The lighters do not have child-resistant mechanisms.
Young children can ignite the lighters, presenting fire and burn hazards.
U.S. Customs alerted CPSC to this product hazard. The Princess Ariel costume has a green skirt with two layers of netting on top and a sequined purple metallic bodice with a picture of Ariel. The Disney Store sold the costumes for Halloween from July 2000 through October 2000. The recall does not include Princess Ariel costumes sold before July 2000. Fabric used in these costumes can ignite readily and presents a serious risk of burn injuries in violation of the Federal Flammable Fabrics Act.
