Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Jul 25, 2017, sent to the company Aug 2, 2017, published by CPSC Aug 16, 2017
The product, in the report: Product is a red, see through cigarette lighter with the letters MK on it. Other information on the lighter is 43L032 and FL-16 26
As I was driving, I grabbed my MK lighter to light a cigarette. When I struck the lighter it blew up in my right hand, as I slung the lighter from my hand it fell on the console and shot on the floorboard under my pant leg. At this time the flame was high so I panicked while trying to get out of the car not realizing the door was locked. After scrambling to unlock the car door I jumped out the car onto the street and injured myself. I suffered a sprain ankle, deep road rash to my right knee, right upper arm, lower left hand, contusions and other scraps and bumps. It has been 2 weeks and I’m still under a doctor’s care.
