BRS Fuel Bottles
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The portable fuel bottles do not meet the child-resistant requirements for closures under the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act (CGBPA). The closure for the products is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
