SB 850 Missouri Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Prohibits the sale or distribution of certain lighters

This bill prohibits the sale or distribution of specific types of lighters within the state. It defines "unsafe lighters" as devices that do not meet current safety standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials and bans their retail and wholesale sale, including free samples. The law allows for the interstate transport and storage of these lighters in closed warehouses but prevents them from being sold to the public. By targeting both counterfeit and non-compliant lighters, the measure aims to regulate the availability of ignition devices in the marketplace.
