Hazard

A manufacturing defect in the can's seam and an insufficiently applied fuel cap can cause the can to leak fuel, posing a fire hazard.

Remedy

(1) Consumers should immediately check their stove fuel cans for leaks. If the can is leaking, consumers should move it to a location where there are no ignition sources and then transfer the fuel to an approved fuel container. (2) Consumers should contact Cascade Designs Inc. to receive a replacement fuel container and funnel.

Incidents & injuries

No incidents or injuries have been reported. However, CPSC and Cascade Designs discovered and subsequently investigated forty-one leaking cans found in Cascade's distribution center.
