What Happened
The recall involves Jobon butane torch lighters that violate the mandatory safety 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. The lighters also failed to meet the pre-market lighter submission requirement.
Which Products Are Affected
This recall involves 13,200 Jobon butane torch lighters with a side ignition trigger and hands-free operation lock. The lighters come in gray/brown, gold/black and camouflage print with "JOBON" printed on the side. They were sold online at Amazon.com and Alibaba.com from April 2021 through September 2025 for between $5 and $20.
What You Should Do
Consumers should stop using the recalled lighters immediately and contact Jobon Official Store for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on the lighter, submerge it in water in a bowl and send a photo of the marked and submerged lighter to wzzhongbang@yeah.net. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.
Why This Matters
The lighters pose a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards due to the absence of required child-resistant mechanisms.
