Regulators Set Child Resistant Lighters Standard
U S regulators vote to require disposable butane lighters to be child resistant. The rule covers disposable lighters, refillables, and toy-like designs, aiming to cut fires started by children under five, which cause about 150 deaths and 1,000 injuries annually. The standard could prevent roughly 100 deaths yearly and applies to over 95 percent of the estimated half‑billion lighters in use.
