Hazard: 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 risk of flash fire.

The spout on the product is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
