      Promotional cigar lighters recalled for lacking a child safety feature

      The products are promotional lighters distributed by Olivia Cigars

      Olivia Cigars is recalling 60,000 of its Cigar Slim lighters because they are missing a child safety feature, violating federal regulations for cigarette lighters.

      The recalled lighters do not have child-resistant mechanisms and were not tested to the federal regulatory requirements for child resistance. Young children under five years of age could ignite the lighters, posing fire and burn hazards. No incidents have been reported.

      This recall involves Oliva Cigar Nub, Oliva, Serie V and Cain branded cigar lighters given away as a promotional item for free. The recalled lighters have the brand name printed on one side, measure 3” x 1 ½” x ¼” and are white, brown or red in color.

      What to do

      Consumers should immediately stop using and dispose of the recalled promotional cigar lighters. 

      Oliva Cigars is contacting all known businesses and wholesalers who could have provided the promotional item to consumers. As the product was given away for free, no refund or replacement will be provided.

      Consumers may contact Oliva Cigars by email at recall@olivacigar.com or online at  https://olivacigar.com/lighter-recall or https://olivacigar.com/ and click “Recall” at the top of the page for more information.

      Enoki Mushroom recalled due to listeria risk

      The recall covers 5.3 ounce packages

      Enoki King Mushroom Farm has issued a recall for lot 4877 of its 5.3-ounce (150g) packages of Enoki Mushroom because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. 

      The recalled Enoki comes in a clear plastic package with the description “Enoki Mushroom” in English and French with the lot code, 4877, on the front in black ink. At the back, there is UPC code 860011505600. The products were distributed from California and New York through produce distributors or wholesalers to retail stores nationwide.

      No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

      The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing by the Maryland State Department of Health revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in 5.3 oz package of Enoki.

      The distribution of the product has been suspended.

      What to do

      Consumers who have purchased any Enoki package with code 4877 are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with question may contact the company at 718.290.6617, Monday to Friday 8 AM to 4 PM PST.
