What is this? These are small lighters made to look like fish. They are not plain lighters.

What's happening? The lighters look like toys to children. A child might try to use one and start a fire.

Does this affect me? If you have children or grandchildren, check any lighters you bought.

What should I do? Stop using the lighters. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help finding a safe lighter.
