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: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: the missing flame mitigation device and non-child-resistant closure pose fire and poisoning hazards, with no incidents reported.
Plain-English summary
Scepter B62 gas and oil combination fuel containers are being recalled. The containers are red with black caps and yellow spouts on each end, with dual chambers holding 6 litres of gasoline on one side and 2.5 litres of oil on the other. "Scepter" and "Essence Danger" are embossed on the side.
The containers violate the mandatory safety standards for portable fuel containers because they lack the flame mitigation devices required under the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act, posing a deadly risk of flash fire. The Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act also requires all closures on portable gasoline containers to be child resistant, and the spout on this product is not, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children. The CPSC notice states that no injuries or incidents have been reported.
About 840 units were sold on Amazon from September 2024 through July 2025 for about $40.
Consumers should immediately stop using the containers, place them out of reach of children and contact Pro Recycle to return the product free of charge for a full refund.
