Default How safe is this cigarette lighter?



Quote:
Edwin Teo, 54, hopes that the relevant authorities can clamp down on potentially dangerous goods not licensed for sale in Singapore.

Edwin sent in a picture of a new brand of cigarette lighter he had taken from his colleague.

The lighter, widely sold for 3 RM in Johore Bahru, is fashioned with the same lighter-fluid compartments ordinary lighters have, but has added features that include "a torch with 3 small batteries inside, and a small compass in the middle."

Edwin's concerns are centered mainly around the battery compartment.

"In this modern age of technology, I wonder how safe the cigarette lighter pictured above is. When the torchlight is switched on, what happens if something hits it? If something hits it, will it explode? It can cause quite a lot of danger," Edwin said.

The combination of lighter fluid, magnets and batteries could potentially be a hazard to users.

I don't think cigarette lighter is listed as one of those dangerous good/items to be license before sale.
