What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Scripto® Premium Torch?
Scripto® Premium Torch was announced in a previous recall cycle, in the "Other" category. The recalled torches violate the requirements of the mandatory safety standard for multipurpose lighters, posing deadly fire and burn hazards to consumers. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled torches and return them to the retailer for a full refund or store credit or contact Calico Brands for instructions on how to return the torches and receive a full refund. After contacting Calico Brands, consumers will receive a shipping label and appropriate hazmat packaging to return the torches free of charge. Sold at: Walmart and Home Depot stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com and Homedepot.com from November 2024 through August 2025 for about $15.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 175,000 units of Scripto® Premium Torch are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
