On February 26, 2026, Royal Oak issued a recall for their Flame Saber Lighters. According to the recall (number 26-284), the lighters violate the mandatory standard for multipurpose lighters because they do not have the required child-resistant mechanisms, which poses a risk of serious injury/death from fire and burn hazards. The recalled lighters also violate labeling requirements under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because they are missing the required safety information. The recall affects approximately 190,560 units of the product.
The affected Royal Oak flame saber lighters are red with a black and gray checkered grip; they also have a hands-free operation lock. The lighters have the following warning labels – “DANGER: Extremely Flammable, Content Under Pressure,” and “WARNING: Only store in locked position” on the sides of the lighter. The front of the lighter has the “Royal Oak” logo.
The recalled lighters were sold from November 2023 through October 2025 for about $30.
They were available for sale at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Rural King, and Ace Hardware stores nationwide. The products were also available online via Lowes.com, HomeDepot.com, TractorSupply.com, RuralKing.com, and AceHarddware.com.
Affected consumers are being urged to stop using the recalled lighters and contact the company for instructions on destroying the device and obtaining a full refund. However, if the defective product resulted in any harm or property damage, it is important to understand that you may have the right to file a claim or even participate in a class action.
