Scepter Gas and Oil Fuel Containers Recalled for Flash Fire and Child Poisoning Risk
Scepter gas and oil fuel containers recalled due to flash fire risk and child poisoning. Consumers must stop using, discard safely, and contact Mameix Retail for refunds.
The recalled fuel containers violate the mandatory safety standards for portable fuel containers because they lack flame mitigation devices required under the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act, posing a deadly risk of flash fire. In addition, the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act requires all closures on portable gasoline fuel containers to be child resistant. The spout on the product is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
