Alliance Chemical Recalls 1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid Containers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Flash Fire, Burn and Child Poisoning; Violates Mandatory Standards for Portable Fuel Containers

Alliance Chemical, of Taylor, Texas

Stop using Alliance Chemical kerosene heater fuel immediately

Alliance Chemical's 1-K Kerosene Heater Fuel containers are missing required safety features that prevent flash fires and burns. The caps are not child-resistant, creating a poisoning and burn risk for children. About 30,155 containers were sold online between January 2023 and March 2026.

  • Stop using the fuel containers right away.
  • Move containers to a safe place away from children.
  • Contact Alliance Chemical for a refund (you'll need to provide a dated photo of the product).
  • Dispose of the fuel following your local hazardous waste procedures—do not pour down drains or trash.
Hazard

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.

Remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled fuel containers immediately, place them out of reach of children and contact Alliance Chemical for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to provide a dated photo of the product and dispose of the fuel following local hazardous waste procedures. Note: Kerosene fuel is hazardous. Fuel containers should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
