Hyperfuels methanol and ethanol fuel containers recalled for child poisoning and flame jetting hazard

What this means

Hyperfuels methanol and ethanol fuel containers lack required safety features. The methanol container is not child-resistant, creating a poisoning risk if a child swallows the contents. Both containers lack flame mitigation devices, which can cause dangerous flame jetting. The containers also fail to meet federal labeling requirements.

  • Stop using the containers immediately.
  • Contact Hyperfuels at sales@hyperfuels.com for a refund or replacement.
  • Mark the container with "RECALLED" in permanent marker and send a photo to sales@hyperfuels.com.
  • Dispose of the fuel according to local hazardous waste procedures—never pour into drains, gutters, or trash cans.

The agency's original wording
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 flame jetting hazard. Furthermore, the methanol container is not child-resistant as required under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, posing a risk of serious injury or death if the contents are swallowed by young children. The containers also do not comply with the labeling requirements of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the fuel containers immediately and contact Hyperfuels for a full refund or a replacement product. Consumers will be asked to destroy the fuel container by writing in permanent maker “RECALLED” on the product and to send a photo to sales@hyperfuels.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product in accordance with local and/or state disposal procedures. Note: Recalled methanol and ethanol fuel should be disposed of in accordance with any local and state regulations, contact your local hazardous waste treatment center or inquire about professional recycling points. Do not dispose of methanol or ethanol in sewers, rainwater pipes or ordinary garbage cans to avoid causing fires or environmental pollution.
