The ethanol fuel bottles were recalled on Nov. 20 with the CPSC stating that the products violate the federal safety standard for portable fuel containers because "they lack flame mitigation devices required by the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act."

CPSC officials also warn consumers that the fuel containers also don’t meet the federal safety regulation for deceptive disclaimers required by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) because they assert the contents are "Non-Toxic."

What you can do:
If you have the recalled fuel bottles, the Consumer Product Safety Commission urges consumers to stop using them immediately and throw the product away and call Demlar for a refund.
