The agency's original wording
The recalled 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 gasoline fuel containers to be child resistant. The spout on the products is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fuel containers, place them out of reach of children and contact Canada Prep and Ship for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "Recalled" with permanent marker on the container and submit a photo of it in the trash to info@canadaprepandship.com.
