Dear Mr. He:
This is in response to your letter dated June 26, 1999, regarding applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to cigarette lighters containing no fuel.
A cigarette lighter, or other similar device, equipped with an ignition element and containing fuel may only be shipped if the design of the device and its inner packaging has been examined by a person who is approved by the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety (AAHMS). In addition the device and its inner packaging must also be approved by the AAHMS. A cigarette lighter that contains no fuel or residue thereof and does not contain any other hazardous material is not subject to the HMR.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
