The product, in the report: Red lighter says bic like all you’re other ones numbers on the bottom middle are r24 then underneath 08.
The lighters sold by Bic are at every mini mart in Fort Walton Beach Florida and are all knock off. Hope you guys find out and do something about it. The lighters come without safety’s sometimes and most just fall apart after about 10 sparks. noticed this over the past couple of months doesn’t matter where I go. I have been to 6 separate mini marts and bought a couple of each to confirm this hypothesis. let me know if you can or get the real stuff down here. I myself can’t be more irritated!

The product, in the report: Disposable BIC Lighter UPC 70330 90922
I purchased 4 Disposable Bic lighters at a Mobil gas station on 5/8/2021 about 8:30pm EST. At the address below:
Mobil [REDACTED]
When I arrived home and used one I realized that the 4 Bic Lighters I had purchased did not have the child resistant saftey on them . I got the lighters off of a counter display to the right of cashier. There were about 5 or six lighters left in the display after I took the 4 I purchased. So if the display was full of all non saftey lighters then it appears they have sold atleast 40 or more illegal lighters. In the pictures attached to this report I included a picture with a Bic lighter that does have the required child resistant device so you can see that it’s missing on the 4 purchased.
