Scepter Fuel Containers Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Flash Fire, Burn and Child Poisoning; Violates Mandatory Standards for Portable Fuel Containers; Imported by Mameix Retail
Mameix Retail, Inc. of Canada
Hazard
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 product is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fuel containers, place them out of reach of children and contact Mameix Retail 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 scepterrecall@gmail.com.
