Which is a child's toy, which is an actual lighter? Can you tell the difference? Can your child? Novelty lighters manufactured to look alarmingly like a child's toy are extremely dangerous when they find their wat into the curious hands of a child. The median age of children who start fires by experimentation is age 5. Those fire are most often started by matches or more frequently lighters. Let's help our child resist temptation, first through awareness, second through prohibiting the purchase of these noveties. Read more about it in our Spring 2008 Safety Lines. Tools or Toys
