The hazard: Harmful chemical exposure

This notice concerns a chemical found in the product at a level regulators consider unsafe, which is usually caught by laboratory testing rather than by anybody noticing a problem.

What the notice says: 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 flame jetting hazard. Furthermore, the methanol container is not child-resistant as required under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, posing a risk of serious injury or death if the contents are swallowed by young children. The containers also do not comply with the labeling requirements of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

Why it matters: A chemical that should not be present at this level was found in the product. Depending on the substance, the concern may be a burn or irritation on contact, or a long-term risk from repeated exposure.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

For a splash or spill, rinse the skin or eyes with running water for 15 to 20 minutes and remove contaminated clothing. If the product was swallowed, or if there is any trouble breathing, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222, which operates free and around the clock — or 911 if the person is collapsing, struggling to breathe or unconscious. Take the container or a photo of the label with you to any appointment.

What to do about Chemical

Hyperfuels — This notice concerns a chemical found in the product at a level regulators consider unsafe, which is usually caught by laboratory testing rather than by anybody noticing a problem.

  1. Stop using the product and keep it away from children and pets.
  2. Do not pour it down a drain or into a bin without checking local hazardous-waste rules, and never mix it with another cleaner.
  3. Ventilate the room if the product was sprayed or applied there.
  4. Keep the container — the lot code on it is what a refund claim and any medical follow-up both depend on.

How the remedy works

CPSC recalls specify one of three remedies, and which one you get is not negotiable — but how smoothly it goes often is.

  • A refund means the purchase price back, sometimes prorated by age for durable goods. Ask how they calculated it if the figure looks low.
  • Return shipping is the company’s cost. If you are asked to pay it, push back.
  • A repair kit is shipped free and is designed to be fitted at home; if you cannot fit it, ask whether they will arrange installation.
  • A replacement is usually the current model, not the recalled one. Confirm the replacement is not itself under recall.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the fuel containers immediately and contact Hyperfuels for a full refund or a replacement product. Consumers will be asked to destroy the fuel container by writing in permanent maker “RECALLED” on the product and to send a photo to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product in accordance with local and/or state disposal procedures. Note: Recalled methanol and ethanol fuel should be disposed of in accordance with any local and state regulations, contact your local hazardous waste treatment center or inquire about professional recycling points. Do not dispose of methanol or ethanol in sewers, rainwater pipes or ordinary garbage cans to avoid causing fires or environmental pollution.

Company contact: Hyperfuels at 833-496-5100 from 9 a.m. CT to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, email at [email protected] or online at www.hyperfuels.com/pages/product-recall-information or www.Hyperfuels.com and click “Product Recall Information” at the top of the page for more information.
