Pistol Lighter

Due to its shape, the lighter is appealing to children. They could play with it and suffer burns or cause a fire. Additionally, the electric shock pulse generates an electrical hazard which is particularly dangerous for vulnerable groups, young children, or individuals with medical implants. The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation nor with the European standard EN 13869.
