All they have done is to make the spring stronger. There is nothing I can do about that except apply the extra pressure. I wonder just how many fires were started by young children playing with lighters? And why can't the parents just teach them not to play with fire? Don't get me started again!!!!

I just snap off the little plastic thing on the button, the spring pops out but the lighter work perfect. I might be doing something illegal , but the main thing is she has arthritis and does not need this kinda sh** in her life. They still work perfectly when the safety thing is off, as far as I know all shops in ireland have to sell these now. When did this happen ? Another thing that annoys me is the little signs saying you can only get on packet of lemsip or anything like that, since when did people start using petrol stations to solve their lemsip addiction !

My 8 year old nephew however comes in handy and shows me how to get round them. Don't by lighters from Peru, they explode when you drop them! True story.
