Plain-English summary

Fastbuy Inc., doing business as Zimtown, is recalling about 200 Zimtown Portable "Jerry" style Gas and Fuel Cans with spout. The metal 5.0 gallon (20L) cans come in red and army green, with a white spout and yellow vent cap. They were sold online at Walmart.com and Zimtown.com from May 2026 through July 2026 for between $32 and $63.

The fuel containers violate the closure requirement under the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act because the closure is not child-resistant. This poses a risk of burns and poisoning to children. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers who purchased these cans are affected. The distributor is Fastbuy Inc., dba Zimtown, of Metuchen, New Jersey, and the product was manufactured in China.

Consumers should stop using the containers immediately and contact Fastbuy for a full refund. They should disassemble the spout, cut it into pieces with scissors, and dispose of it separately from the container. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" on the container and submit photos to [email protected]. Contact Fastbuy by email at that address or online at www.zimtown.com and select recalls.
