Can any one help me?
We are a retailer who are looking into selling Gas lighter refills. Is there any h&S law to how it can be sold?
I know we can be prosecuted if it is sold to under 18. But apart from that i cant find anything else.
A risk assessment will be undertaken if we descide to proceed

check with your insurer, make sure they cannot catch fire, what would be the worse case scenarion if they did ?, who is living next to or above you, where are you going to site them? can you get out if they did catch fire? probally need a small explosion proof lockup cabinet with hazard signage, there may be a technical helpline number on the side of the can also check trading standards

These are no different to aerosol cans really. Almost all aerosol products now use Butane as the propellant.
They should not catch fire spontaneously (unless dropped/damaged and with a source of ignition) but they could be hazardous in the event of a fire.
Why not check out your local supermarket? I'm sure they sell these and just keep them on the shelf in their tobacco kiosk.

There is guidance in HSE Guidance Note CS8 "Small scale storage and display of LPG at retail premises".
