Lighters/Refillable Lighters
Advice for staying safe when using lighters:
- Keep all matches and lighters out of reach of children
- Never use the lighter if it appears to be damaged, leaking or malfunctioning
- Make sure your lighter is completely extinguished after use and ensure it is completely cool before storing
- Only use lighters in well-ventilated areas
Advice for staying safe when using refillable lighters:
- Only re-fill lighters designed to be refillable
- Never smoke while re-fuelling your refillable lighter
- Make sure you refuel your lighter away from naked flames
- Always refill a lighter on an open or well-ventilated space with sufficient air circulation - this reduces any chances of an accidental fire
- Take extra care not to spill any liquid when refilling your refillable-lighter
- Keep all butane containers away from any source of heat, spark, or direct sunlight
- Cool down the lighter to room temperature before refilling. Filling up a hot lighter with butane can be dangerous
- After refilling, you will feel the lighter turning cold from the cold butane. This is completely normal. Wait for a few minutes to allow the lighter to come back to room temperature before using it. This will also allow any excess butane to escape out
- Avoid inhaling butane while refilling and keep it away from skin or clothes. Run warm water over skin areas that have been exposed to butane.
- Any clothing that has come in contact with butane should be washed thoroughly
- Make sure the re-fill valve has closed after re-filling
- Read and understand refilling instruction before refuelling your refillable-lighter
