Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to specify standards for the design of cigarette lighters using an 80% acceptance criterion with respect to safety features that prevent operation of the lighters by children 5 years of age or younger. Existing law prohibits a person from selling, offering for sale, or distributing a cigarette lighter that does not comply with those standards. This bill would prohibit a person from selling, offering for sale, or distributing a lighter, as defined, or a lighting rod or gas match, that does not comply with specified ASTM International standards, except as specified. The bill would also prohibit a person from selling, offering for sale, or distributing a lighter that infringes on certain intellectual property rights, except as specified.
