Evergreen Recalls Fireside Gel Fuel Bottles Due to Burn and Fire Hazards
Evergreen Enterprises is recalling Fireside Gel Fuel bottles because the pourable fuel can ignite unexpectedly and splatter, posing burn and flash fire risks.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states the hazard 'can be fatal' and involves fire and burn risks, but notes that no incidents or injuries have been reported. This aligns with the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Evergreen Enterprises is recalling approximately 23,400 bottles of Fireside Gel Fuel due to burn and flash fire hazards. The recall involves 30-ounce plastic bottles of pourable gel fuel, sold with or without citronella oil, which are intended to be poured into firepots or decorative lighting devices. The products were sold by independent retailers from December 2010 through September 2011 for between $9.99 and $11.99.
The hazard exists because the pourable gel fuel can ignite unexpectedly and splatter onto people and nearby objects 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 notes that gel fuel that splatters and ignites can pose fire and burn risks that can be fatal. Evergreen Enterprises is not aware of any reports of incidents involving the product.
Consumers should immediately stop using the pourable gel fuel and return it to the company for a full refund. The recalled products include Fireside Gel Fuel (Model 5G001, UPC 746851581199) and Fireside Gel Fuel-Citronella (Model 5G002, UPC 746851581205). For additional information, consumers can contact Evergreen Enterprises toll-free at (877) 558-1511 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.myevergreen.com.
