Scripto Mini-Flashlights

December 2, 2003

Mini-flashlights given away with Aim n' Flame lighters are being recalled because the battery compartment can overheat, presenting a possible burn hazard to consumers.

The company has received two reports of flashlights overheating. No injuries have been reported.

The mini-flashlights were provided to consumers as a free gift with the purchase of Aim n' Flame II multi-purpose lighters. The black, plastic flashlight is about 5 1/4-inches long with a thin red ring around the barrel. There is no safety issue relating to the multi- purpose lighter and it is not the subject of this voluntary recall.

Home improvement, discount, convenience, grocery and drug stores nationwide sold the multipurpose lighters with the flashlights from September 2003 through November 2003 for between $4 and $6.

Consumers should remove the batteries and discard the mini- flashlights.

Consumer Contact: Call SCI Promotion Group, LLC at (877) 746-7426 between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.

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