Plain-English summary
Sunnyside Corporation is recalling approximately 960 Sunnyside gallon 1-K Kerosene Heater and Appliance Fluid Portable Fuel Containers. The recalled containers have batch number 26082 and come in white plastic bottles with white caps and a multicolor label showing the words 'sunnyside' and 'kerosene'. The batch number is printed on the upper right front of the bottle.
The fuel containers violate the mandatory safety standards of the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act because they lack flame mitigation devices. This creates a deadly risk of flash fire and burn injury.
The containers were sold at Amazon.com and Do-It Best Hardware Stores from May 2026 through July 2026 for about $13. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
Consumers should stop using the recalled fuel bottles immediately and keep them out of reach of children. Contact Sunnyside Corporation for a full refund by writing 'RECALLED' with a permanent marker on the bottle and submitting a photo to [email protected]. Because kerosene fuel is hazardous, consumers should dispose of the bottles following local and state hazardous waste procedures.
