No one hurt Made Nov 29, 2021, sent to the company Dec 2, 2021, published by CPSC Dec 16, 2021
The product, in the report: It is a butane lighter in black with a silver colored metal push level.
I have an XIKAR lighter that has printed on the bottom: L20 PAT.PEND I bought it around the year 1998 because it had a lifetime guarantee. I’ve since gotten about 25 replacements because it and the replacements don’t work well. I returned it to the company and told them to keep it because it was junk, but they sent me a replacement anyway. The latest replacement worked for about three months and then it leaked out all the butane from it’s internal components. If I had tried to light it when it was leaking, it would have burned my hand and maybe even exploded. After I refilled it, all the butane fuel leaked out in about one hour.
