Recall Summary
The verbatim CPSC notice for Recall #26-445, as approved on April 30, 2026.
1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid Portable Fuel Containers
The pre-filled 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. In addition, the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act requires all closures on portable kerosene fuel containers to be child-resistant. The container is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
Refund. Consumers should stop using the recalled fuel containers immediately, place them out of reach of children and contact Alliance Chemical for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to provide a dated photo of the product and dispose of the fuel following local hazardous waste procedures.
Kerosene fuel is hazardous. Fuel containers should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
