Specifically the lighters, which were manufactured in China:

• may continue to burn after the trigger mechanism has been released.
Some 375,464 of the lighters have been sold in Canada from June 2007 to June 2018. As of June 20, 2018, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
