Oliva Cigars is recalling Nub, Oliva, Serie V and Cain branded slim cigar lighters that were given away as free promotional items. The lighters lack child-resistant mechanisms and were not tested to federal child-resistance requirements, so young children under 5 could ignite them, posing fire and burn hazards.

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.
