Wilteexs recalls bioethanol fuel bottles over flash fire risk and a false "Non Toxic" claim
The fuel bottles lack the flame-blocking device that is required, so they can cause a deadly flash fire, and their labels wrongly claim the fuel is "Non Toxic".

Stop using the bottles right away, keep them away from children, and write "Do not use" and your Amazon order number on the bottle with permanent marker. Email a photo to hongyaodemg@outlook.com for a full refund, and dispose of the bottle following local and state rules.
