Reported risk: Testing by Health Canada has revealed that the lighters have unsafe burning characteristics, posing a burn hazard to users. For example, the flame is too high and the lighter continues to burn even after the trigger mechanism is released. In addition, the product does not have the mandatory labelling, as required under Canadian law. Neither Michael's, Duraflame Inc. , nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these lighters. For some tips to help consumers use utility lighters safely, see Health Canada's publication: Utility lighters are dangerous in the hands of children!
