Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
This CPSC recall involves Scepter B62 gas and oil fuel containers. The record states the combination fuel containers are red with black caps and yellow spouts on each end, have dual chambers with a 6-litre gas capacity on one side and 2.5-litre oil capacity on the other, and have "Scepter" and "Essence Danger" embossed on the side.
The recalled fuel containers violate the mandatory safety standards for portable fuel containers because they lack flame mitigation devices required under the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act, posing a deadly risk of flash fire. The record adds that the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act requires all closures on portable gasoline fuel containers to be child-resistant, and that the spout on this product is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
The record lists about 700 units affected. They were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2024 through May 2025 for about $40. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fuel containers, place them out of reach of children and contact Mameix Retail for a full refund. The record states consumers will be asked to write "Recalled" with permanent marker on the container and submit a photo of it in the trash to the address given in the notice.
