What it is

Hyperfuels Methanol and Ethanol Fuel Containers are being recalled. The containers violate several federal safety standards.

The hazard

The containers lack the flame mitigation devices required for portable fuel containers, which poses a deadly flame jetting hazard. The methanol container is also not child-resistant as required, which poses a risk of serious injury or death if young children swallow the contents. The containers also do not meet federal labeling requirements.
