Novelty Lighter Legislation
Toylike or novelty lighters have been responsible for injuries, deaths, and accidents across the nation. Because novelty lighters look like toys, children are tempted to play with them even if they have been taught that handling lighters is dangerous. Fatal fires caused by novelty lighters have been documented in several states. Some local and state governments are taking action by banning their sale and limiting distribution.
