Royal Oak flame saber lighters recalled for missing child-resistant mechanism and fire hazard
What this means
Royal Oak flame saber lighters do not have the required child-resistant safety mechanism, which means children can operate them and cause serious burns or fires. The lighters also lack required safety labels. About 190,560 units were sold nationwide from November 2023 through October 2025.
- Stop using the lighters immediately
- Contact Royal Oak for a full refund and destruction instructions

The agency's original wording
The recalled lighters violate the mandatory standard for multipurpose lighters because they do not have the required child-resistant mechanisms, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards. The lighters also violate the labeling requirements under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act by missing required safety information.
Consumers should stop using the recalled lighters immediately and contact Royal Oak for a full refund. Consumers will be given instructions on how to destroy the device and submit proof of destruction to receive a refund.
