BRS Fuel Bottle Recall Due to Non-Compliance
A significant safety concern has led to the BRS Fuel Bottle recall, announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on January 25, 2024. This recall addresses the critical issue of these bottles failing to comply with child-resistant closure requirements, posing substantial risks to child safety.
Recall Date: January 25, 2024
Product Description
The recall encompasses BRS Fuel Bottles, designed for portability and available in three sizes: 530mL, 750mL, and 1000mL. Manufactured before July 2023, these bottles are easily recognizable by their vibrant orange hue, complemented by a black cap and detailed with white text. Each bottle is marked with the “BRS” logo, the label “fuel bottle,” its respective volume, and includes various instructions and warnings printed in white.
Sales Information
These fuel bottles have been available exclusively on Amazon.com. The period of availability ranged from December 2020 through October 2023. The bottles were priced at around $12 for the 530mL size, $15 for the 750mL size, and $17 for the 1000mL size.
Safety Hazard Identified from BRS Fuel Bottle Recall
The recall is prompted by the failure of these bottles to meet the child-resistant closure standards set by the Children’s Gasoline Burn Prevention Act (CGBPA). The lack of a child-resistant closure presents a grave risk of burns and poisoning hazards to children.
