Firefly Fuel Recalls Firefly Safe & Green 32 oz. Fuel Bottles Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Poisoning to Young Children; Violates Multiple Mandatory Standards

Hazard

The recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. fuel bottles contain hydrocarbons, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The product includes a nozzle applicator which is not child-resistant, violating the mandatory standard. When the applicator is used instead of the child-resistant closure, it poses a deadly poisoning hazard to young children. Hydrocarbons can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia and pulmonary damage, which can be fatal. In addition, the torch fuel violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because it is incorrectly labeled as "Non-Toxic".

Remedy

Consumers should immediately remove the nozzle applicator from the recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. Fuel bottle and reinstall the child-resistant closure that was included with the product's original packaging. If the child-resistant closure is not readily available, consumers should immediately secure the recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. fuel bottle out of the sight and reach of children. Consumers should contact Firefly Fuel for a free corrected label to put on the bottle and a free replacement child-resistant lid, if the original is missing.
