BRS Fuel Bottles Recalled for Non-Child-Resistant Closure Risk

BRS Fuel Bottles sold on Amazon from December 2020 through October 2023 do not have child-resistant closures as required by law, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children. Consumers should stop using them immediately and contact the distributor for return or disposal.

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 product violates a federal safety standard (CGBPA) designed to protect children from a serious hazard (burn and poisoning). Although no injuries have been reported, the risk-of-harm standard is met, placing this at the High severity level per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

BRS Fuel Bottles, portable liquid fuel bottles sold in 530mL, 750mL, and 1000mL sizes, are being recalled because their closures do not meet child-resistant requirements under the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act (CGBPA). The bottles are orange with a black cap and white text reading "BRS," "fuel bottle," and volume warnings or directions.

These bottles were sold exclusively on Amazon.com from December 2020 through October 2023 for approximately $12, $15, and $17 for the 530mL, 750mL, and 1000mL sizes, respectively. The recalled bottles were manufactured prior to July 2023. About 165 units are affected.

The non-child-resistant closure poses a risk of burn and poisoning to children. No injuries have been reported to date.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fuel bottles, place them out of reach of children, and contact OAREA Outdoor Gear for a full refund. The distributor can be reached by email at [email protected] or through Amazon.com at www.amazon.com/sp?ie=UTF8&seller=A34L6EV18KW96Q by clicking "Ask a Question" at the top of the page.
