Prestige Supernova and Typhoon Lighters

Prestige Import Group, of Deerfield, Florida, is recalling Supernova and Typhoon lighters because they violate the mandatory standard for cigarette lighters, lacking the required child-resistant mechanism and posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards. The recall involves about 4,300 units, and no incidents have been reported. The lighters were made in China.

The recalled lighters are Prestige-branded metal butane torch lighters. The Supernova gray and black lighters have a rugged, industrial look, a textured grip with a mesh-like metal panel on the side with three horizontal bands and a cap at the top of the flame valve.

The Typhoon rectangular lighters are silver, black and black/silver with a metal and matte finish and have the ignition trigger on the side with a cap on top of the flame valve. They were sold at small independent stores nationwide and online at prestigeimportgroup.com from October 2023 through March 2026 for between $7 and $10.

Consumers should stop using the recalled lighters immediately and contact Prestige Import Group for a full refund or store credit, then dispose of the product in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.
