Hazard

The fuel containers violate the requirement for closures under the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act because the closure is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burns and poisoning to children.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the gas and fuel containers immediately and contact Fastbuy for a full refund. Consumers should disassemble the spout, cut it into pieces with scissors and dispose of it separately from the container. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" on the container and submit photos of the product to [email protected] separately.
