Stop using Alliance Chemical kerosene heater fuel

Alliance Chemical's 1-K Kerosene Heater Fuel containers lack required safety features: flame mitigation devices to prevent flash fires and child-resistant closures to prevent accidental burns or poisoning. These containers violate federal portable fuel container safety standards.

  • Stop using the kerosene fuel immediately.
  • Keep the containers out of reach of children.
  • Contact Alliance Chemical for a full refund (you'll need to provide a dated photo of the product).
  • Dispose of the fuel by following your local hazardous waste procedures.

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.
