The flue of the lighter is engraved with an apple figure and the word "apple." A caution sticker on the back states "Made in Philippines." PROBLEM: The tractor trailer-shaped lighters are very attractive to children who could easily mistake them for toys. If a child plays with the lighter, a fire and/or serious burn injuries may result.
