A DOT-approved lighter case is a protective casing designed for lighters that complies with regulations set by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). These cases are intended to prevent accidental ignition and limit the risk of fire hazards during transportation. The approval ensures that the lighter case meets safety standards for storing and carrying lighters, particularly in commercial shipping and aviation contexts.
A DOT-approved lighter case is designed to safely carry and store lighters while complying with the regulations set by the Department of Transportation. These cases often feature materials that can withstand impact and are flame-resistant, ensuring safety during transport. They are typically used by travelers and outdoor enthusiasts to prevent accidental ignition and to secure lighter contents. Always check for the DOT approval label to ensure compliance with safety standards.
"Dot" is "DOT" - Department of Transportation. So DOT Approved means "Approved by the Department of Transportation".

This is from the TSA website: Common Lighters - Lighters without fuel are permitted in checked baggage. Lighters with fuel are prohibited in checked baggage, unless they adhere to the Department of Transportation (DOT) exemption, which allows up to two fueled lighters if properly enclosed in a DOT approved case. If you are uncertain as to whether your lighter is prohibited, please leave it at home. Torch Lighters - Torch lighters create a thin, needle-like flame that is hotter (reaching 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit) and more intense than those from common lighters. Torch lighters are often used for pipes and cigars, and maintain a consistent stream of air-propelled fire regardless of the angle at which it is held. Torch lighters continue to be banned.
