Reported risk: Health Canada is advising the Canadian public to stop using Patio Chef brand refillable utility lighters. The lighters pose potential fire, injury and burn hazards because they may be affected by combustion problems. In certain instances, the lighters produce a shower of burning fuel which separates from the main flame. Moreover, the flame can increase suddenly to an excessive height of 14 cm (5.5 inches). These lighters can also leak gas when exposed to heat.
