The product, in the report: The lighter is in a colored clear plastic container. It is marked “MK” on the metal part at the top of the lighter.
My sister started the MK lighter and it exploded in her hand. Her hands were not injured but the explosion scared us both. The next day the same type of lighter was placed on the top of a dryer. Someone turned the dryer on and the MK lighter exploded.

The product, in the report: Disposable lighter made from china
Purchased a pack of (2) MK lighter brand lighters at a local convenience store. Put one in glove box in car for spare One morning, I got up, left my hotel room on the way to work and could not find my lighter to light a cig. I suddenly remembered my spare in the glove box. When I opened the glove box, I discovered the lighter had blown-up leaving plastic fragments everywhere. What if I would have came out to my car and it was burnt to the ground? or What if the lighter blew-up while I was driving down the road causing a fatal accident to me or other vehicles traveling the highway?
