"Grill Care Company" Gas Lighters Sold at Wal-Mart

February 22, 2007
CFM U.S. Corp. is recalling about 1.8 million multi-purpose gas lighters sold at Wal-Mart because they lack warning labels.

The lighters do not have a label in English containing precautionary information concerning the proper use and operation. Failure to follow the instructions in the warning label could result in injury.

The recall involves three models of multi-purpose butane lighters sold under the brand name, The Grill Care Company. The lighters are nine or 11 inches long and have the words "The Grill Care Company" and "NOM" printed on the label affixed to each lighter. The lighters come in several colors. Only lighters that have Spanish warnings and do not have English warnings are included in this recall.

The lighters were sold at Wal-Mart from February 2006 through January 2007 for between $1 and $4.

Consumers should contact CFM to obtain safety warning labels in English and instructions for proper placement of the labels on the lighters.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact CFM toll-free at (866) 333-4833 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
