Firefly Safe and Green fuel bottles have a non child-resistant applicator

Plain-English summary

Firefly Safe & Green 32 oz fuel bottles are being recalled. The fuel comes in a transparent bottle with a white cap and nozzle applicator, bearing the Firefly brand and "Safe & Green" in large green font followed by "The One Fuel". About 11,275 units are affected.

The stated hazard is that the bottles contain hydrocarbons, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The nozzle applicator included is not child-resistant, violating the mandatory standard, and when used instead of the child-resistant closure poses a poisoning hazard to young children. According to the notice, hydrocarbons can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia and pulmonary damage, which can be fatal. The notice also states the torch fuel violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because it is incorrectly labelled "Non-Toxic". No injuries or incidents have been reported.

The fuel was sold on Amazon.com among other outlets.

Consumers should immediately remove the nozzle applicator and reinstall the child-resistant closure supplied with the original packaging, or secure the bottle out of sight and reach of children, then contact Firefly Fuel for a free corrected label and a replacement child-resistant lid if needed.
