What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Sunnyside gallon 1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid Portable Fuel Containers?
Sunnyside gallon 1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid Portable Fuel Containers was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The pre-filled fuel containers violate the mandatory safety standards of the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act because they lack flame mitigation devices, posing a deadly risk of flash fire and burn hazard. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled fuel bottles immediately, place them out of reach of children, and contact Sunnyside for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" with permanent marker on the bottle; and submit a photo of it to info@sunnysidecorp.com. Consumers should dispose of the fuel bottles in accordance with local and state regulations. Note: Kerosene fuel is hazardous. Fuel containers should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures. Sold at: Amazon.com online and Do-It Best Hardware Stores from May 2026 through July 2026 for about $13.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 960 units of Sunnyside gallon 1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid Portable Fuel Containers are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
