DescriptionPourable NAPAfire and FIREGEL Gel Fuel bottles and jugs Product description This recall involves Pourable NAPAfire and FIREGEL Gel Fuel bottles and jugs. The product is a clear, pourable gel fuel packaged in clear 947 ml (one-quart) plastic bottles and 3.785 L (one-gallon) plastic jugs and sold in non-scented and citronella scents. The fuel is poured into a stainless steel cup in the centre of firepots or other decorative lighting devices and then ignited. Hazard identified The pourable gel fuel can ignite unexpectedly and splatter onto people and objects nearby when it is poured into a firepot that is still burning. This hazard can occur if the consumer does not see the flame or is not aware that the firepot is still ignited. Fuel gel that splatters and ignites can pose fire and burn risks to consumers. In Canada, the stainless steel cup in the centre of firepots lacks the required precautionary labelling. The US distributor of the product, Napa Home & Garden Inc. is aware of 37 reports of incidents in the US, including 23 burn injuries to consumers. Neither Health Canada nor the Canadian distributor, Design Home Gift and Paper Inc., have received any reports of incidents in Canada. Number sold Approximately 800 units of the recalled products were sold in Canada. Time period sold The recalled products were distributed in Canada by Design Home Gift and Paper Inc. between May 2010 and June 2011. Place of origin Manufactured in the United States.

What you should do

  • Consumers should immediately stop using the pourable gel fuel in firepots and return all bottles or jugs to the retailer from which they were purchased for a full refund. The stainless steel cup in the centre of firepots are not refundable and should be discarded.
  • The decorative firepot itself is not part of the recall and should not be returned to the retailer. A retrofit for the Napa brand firepots is being evaluated and may be available in the near future. Consumers are asked to not use the firepots until they receive the retrofit kits.
  • For additional information, call Design Home Gift and Paper Inc. at 1-800-663-9950.
