Cascade Designs Recalls MSR SuperFuel Liquid Fuel Cans Due to Fire Hazard

Plain-English summary

Cascade Designs Inc. is recalling approximately 8,500 cans of MSR SuperFuel liquid fuel. The product is used for outdoor cooking stoves and is packaged in red metal cans labeled "MSR® SuperFuel™" and "SUPERFUEL, MSR Cleanest-Burning Liquid Fuel for MSR Stoves." The recall includes cans with batch #502-167 printed on the lower back of the can in light black digits.

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

The fuel was sold nationwide at sporting good stores from March 2005 through April 2005 for about $9. 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. Consumers should contact Cascade Designs Inc. to receive a replacement fuel container and funnel.
