Mameix Retail recalls Scepter gas and oil fuel containers over fire risk and missing child-resistant spout
The containers lack required flame mitigation devices, which could cause a deadly flash fire, and the spout is not child-resistant, so children could be burned or poisoned.
What to do
Stop using the containers right away, keep them out of children's reach, and contact Mameix Retail for a full refund. Write "Recalled" on the container with permanent marker and email a photo of it in the trash to scepterrecall@gmail.com.
