I will discuss examples of flavor-violating light new physics in experiments searching for ultra-rare µ+ --> e+e+e- decays (Mu3e) and µ- --> e -conversion on nuclei (Mu2e and COMET). First I will discuss how muon-induced baryon number violation can lead to exotic signatures in Mu2e, inducing e- as well as e+ final states that are more energetic than the endpoint of µ -> e conversion. Time permitting, I will also give an example of how muon decays to five charged tracks can be detected at the Mu3e experiment.
