Lightly used nothing major a water pipe and some solder is all it's seen but it's nozzle tip is loose and while searching internet for a fix came across the recall which I have experienced the issue of it staying on after releasing trigger no injury or damage to report

Click N Flame lighter used primarily for barbecues exploded while sitting on barbecue cover when temperatures hit 100 degrees. No one was hurt although the sound was deafening. If this had happened in an enclosed space like a car it could have been quite dangerous.

Just had a scripts lighter explode. I had used it about 1 hour or so before to light a strike a fire to light my wood burning stove.

(04/13/2106) The consumer stated that his wife heard a loud explosion that came from near her granddaughters room. She went to investigate and saw that the lighter had exploded and pieces were scattered throughout the room. The lighter was located on a desk. It was not exposed to light or heat. No one was in the room when the lighter exploded. No injuries. The consumer added he attached 3 digital photos (poor quality) of the lighter, and lighter pieces and a candle that was broken by the lighter after it exploded. The consumer also added all evidence have been retained and are available at [CPSC's] request.

I opened a new Ozark Trail Utility Lighter yesterday. This morning, I went to light a fire in my woodstove and the entire lighter caught fire, which engulfed my hand in flames. I threw the lighter in the woodstove, where it kept burning. I blew it out. The flames had burned my hand and arm hair, but I am otherwise unharmed.

My wife lighted a candle in the kitchen with Ultimate Utility Butane Lighter (by Elite Brands). She let the trigger go after lighting the candle and put the lighter in the cabinet drawer. She smelt some smoke and opened the cabinet to notice the cabinet drawer liner to be on fire. We doused the fire immediately and noticed that the lighter was still on. Repeated the action to ensure that it was not a human error, but could replicate it every time we tried. The lighter would not go off once the trigger was released, and that the flame was not always visible. No injuries or damage since we noticed the fire right away.

At about 2000 on 21 Jan '13 I lit a fire in my wood stove. The lighter was placed about 8' from the stove to be used to ignite the next fire. This lighter had been in use since about 1 Dec 2012 and was approximately 1/2 empty. It had been purchased at Dollar General. I have been storing lighters there since purchasing this home in Jan 2006 without incident. At about 2130 we heard an explosion in the living room. It sounded like a small caliber gun being discharged in our concrete and steel dome home! We had previously noticed that some of our firewood had to be discarded due to someone having shot into the wood. Shells were clearly visible in the bark a few pieces of firewood. I assumed we had grabbed a piece of firewood with a shell in it and the shell had exploded in the wood stove. After removing family and pets to a safe place, I checked adjacent rooms to see if there was any sign of a shot. Not finding anything, I cut the air to the stove to smother the fire and waited. I examined the stove from a distance to see if any smoke was escaping from a new hole. When none was found, I got closer and reexamined it. The stove was intact. I searched the room for the source of the explosion and found what was left of the A-Liter about 6' from it's point of origin! It might have traveled further but it hit a stone wall in a corner, fell to the stone floor, and was stopped. I did NOT feel safe having these in my home any longer. As I had bought a two pack, the unused one was removed to a rocky area outdoors with no vegetation or other combustibles, away from the goat, and left them outside overnight. On 01/22/2013 at approximately 1700, I called the Bloomfield Fire Department dispatch and explained what happened and asked if they would take both lighters and safely destroy or safely dispose of the unused one and examine the one that exploded. They had a Fire Fighter meet me at the FD. I turned in the exploded lighter parts and the unused
