Cheap Lighters Will Disappear Across Connecticut on October 1
There are a couple of new legal guidelines taking impact on October 1, 2022. One which speaks to me is CT PA 22-12, which is an Act regarding counterfeit and unsafe lighters in Connecticut.
Yay, I will by no means should eat the .99 cents I drop on a “Bik” lighter from the Useful Cease on Highland Ave in Waterbury once more. Boo, I will not be capable to purchase the cool Ronnie James Dio lighter I noticed on the CT Horror Fest? How did this Act come about? Has there been quite a lot of explosive low-cost lighter accidents? Has our lust for fireplace pits and S’mores created an underground hazardous fireplace pit lighter market?
Crappy lighters are bought all over the place in Connecticut, I’ve bought them at impartial comfort/grocery shops, smoke & vape outlets, flea markets, and so on. I knew what I used to be shopping for, the mass-produced knockoffs are clearly the most cost effective, and the model names like Bic and Djeep run a few bucks or extra. As of October 1, 2022, PA 22-12 will deal with this example.
Connecticut PA 22-12 prohibits providing or promoting a counterfeit or unsafe lighter in Connecticut. Beneath the act, a “counterfeit lighter” is outlined as “a lighter that infringes on the mental property rights of a US citizen or entity protected by federal or state mental property legislation.”
We have all seen the knock-offs within the neighborhood Greenback retailer, Hamsung televisions for $38, and Draft macaroni & cheese for 49 cents. When you’ve been injured by a shoddy lighter, PA 22-12 permits any individual aggrieved by a violation of the act to convey a civil motion in Superior Court docket to get well damages from the one that is alleged to have dedicated the violation.
Flick the Bic, not the Bik.

Firefighters are battling several fires across the state amid dry conditions and a statewide emergency burn ban is in effect.
Outdoor grills, fire pits, campfires, kindling and use of flame are not allowed in any state parks, forests or other state-owned public lands. The ban also includes smoking and using lighters outdoors.
The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and parts of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are also closed.
Gov. Ned Lamont on Oct. 25 declared a state of emergency because of fire conditions.
Authorities say there are potentially more challenges coming up this week and it could be months before the state is really out of the woods when it comes to the fire danger.
“We’re just trying to keep the residents of Connecticut safe,” said Rich Schenk, the fire control officer for the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
Burn bans are still in place as the state deals with dozens of fires.
A few new ones popped up on Sunday bringing the total to 111 being tracked statewide.
“Without rain, the ground is getting drier. The leaves, it’s like walking on potato chips out there,” Schenk said.
Firefighters are battling a fire in Rocky Neck State Park that has burned about 46 acres.
The park remains closed for public safety.
At the largest blaze in the state – the Hawthorne Fire in Berlin – there is promising news.
“We’re going to transition into more from the mop up phase to more of a patrol phase throughout this week,” said Chief Jonn Massirio, of the Berlin Volunteer Fire Department.
The fire is now considered 50% contained after scorching 127 acres.
But the coming days could bring warmer temperatures, gustier winds, and more red flag warnings.
“We’re still going to keep our guard up. They’re not gonna, you know, put our heads down. Still got to be vigilant. Across the state. Conditions still persist to be dry,” Massirio said.
Crews from outside the state have been called in to help. They could be here until December or January.
“We’re going to need some kind of weather pattern that changes what we’re in until we get some southern moisture coming up. I want to plan for the worst case scenario so that the state’s prepared and I don’t want to be caught shorthanded,” Schenk said.
At least at the Hawthorne Fire, crews are hopeful the fire containment can be increased this week.
