"WASHINGTON (AP) - The Consumer Product Safety Commission is advising consumers to throw away 448,000 mini-flashlights that came as free gifts with the purchase of multipurpose lighters, because the lights can pose a burn risk.
There have been two reports of the battery compartments of the flashlights overheating. No injuries have been reported, the agency said Tuesday.
The flashlights were made in China and distributed by SCI Promotion Group LLC of Ontario, Calif. and Scripto-Tokai Corporation of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. They came as free gifts with the purchase of Aim n' Flame II multipurpose lighters....
Consumers are urged to remove the batteries and discard the mini flashlights."
