Plain-English summary
Pacific Décor Ltd. is recalling Pacific Flame Pourable Gel Fuel Bottles due to burn and flash fire hazards. The recall involves about 3,600 bottles of one-quart, white plastic gel fuel, sold with and without citronella. The fuel is intended to be poured into stainless steel cups in ceramic firepots or other decorative lighting devices.
The hazard exists because the pourable gel fuel can ignite unexpectedly and splatter onto people and objects nearby if poured into a firepot that is still burning. This can occur if the consumer does not see the flame or is unaware that the firepot is still ignited. The source text notes that gel fuel that splatters and ignites can pose fire and burn risks to consumers that can be fatal. No injuries have been reported.
The products were sold online, in specialty and gift shops, furniture stores, and home and garden stores nationwide, as well as through home and garden catalogs and home decorators from June 2011 through August 2011 for between $10 and $12. Consumers should immediately stop using the pourable gel fuel in firepots and return all bottles to the retailer where purchased for a full refund.
