Fish-Shaped Cigarette Lighter Recall

October 29, 2003

About 3,100 fish-shaped cigarette lighters are being recalled by their distributor, The Sarut Group d/b/a as City Limit.

The lighters lack the required child resistant mechanisms and can expose children to fire hazards.

These novelty cigarette lighters have a metallic colored plastic body and are shaped to resemble a fish and come in a variety of 18 different colors. Colored designs are painted on the body of the fish. The lighters contain a black lighter insert which can be pulled out of the body of the fish. The inserts have a white colored fish skeleton painted on the side.

The lighters were sold through internet sales and distribution to retail firms from 2002 to 2003.

Return the lighters to the retail firm or Sarut Group for a full refund and a discount coupon on your next purchase.

Consumer Contact: Beverly Olivier Customer Service Representative at the Sarut Group at (800) 345-6404 between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. E.T. Monday through Friday.

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