Firefly Fuel Recalls Firefly Safe & Green 32 oz. Fuel Bottles Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Poisoning to Young Children; Violates Multiple Mandatory Standards
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. fuel bottles contain hydrocarbons, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The product includes a nozzle applicator which is not child-resistant, violating the mandatory standard. When the applicator is used instead of the child-resistant closure, it poses a deadly poisoning hazard to young children. Hydrocarbons can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia and pulmonary damage, which can be fatal. In addition, the torch fuel violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because it is incorrectly labeled as "Non-Toxic".
What parents need to know
This recall concerns Firefly Safe & Green 32 oz. fuel bottles. The product is a transparent bottle containing fuel, with a white cap and nozzle applicator, and is branded as "Firefly Safe & Green."
The fuel bottles were recalled because they violate mandatory safety standards. The product contains hydrocarbons and was not equipped with child-resistant packaging when the nozzle applicator was in use, posing a serious poisoning hazard to young children. Ingestion of hydrocarbons can lead to severe lung damage and can be fatal. Additionally, the fuel is mislabeled as "Non-Toxic," which is a violation of federal law.
Parents should immediately remove the nozzle applicator and reinstall the child-resistant closure that came with the product's original packaging. If the child-resistant closure is not available, ensure the bottle is stored immediately out of children's sight and reach. Please refer to the full recall notice for detailed instructions on how to obtain a corrected label and a replacement child-resistant lid.
