Alliance Chemical 1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid Containers
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The pre-filled fuel containers violate the mandatory safety standards for portable fuel containers because they lack flame mitigation devices required under the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act, posing a deadly risk of flash fire. In addition, the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act requires all closures on portable kerosene fuel containers to be child-resistant. The container is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — The agency describes a risk of serious injury or death.
