| Product name | 1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid Portable Fuel Containers | |
| Description | This recall involves the bottles of 1-K Kerosene Heater Fuel. The bottles come in transparent plastic containers with white caps and have a multicolor label with 'KEROSENE' in all capital white lettering and '1-K HEATER FUEL' in similar lettering. The label only has a single front panel and contains warnings and distributor information. | |
| Problem | 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. | |
