Fastbuy Zimtown Portable Gas and Fuel Cans
Official title: Fastbuy Recalls Zimtown Portable Gas and Fuel Cans Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Burn Hazard and Child Poisoning; Violate Mandatory Standard for Portable Fuel Containers
Zimtown portable metal "Jerry" style 5-gallon gas and fuel cans with spout were sold online at Walmart.com and Zimtown.com. They were recalled because the closure is not child-resistant as required by federal law, posing a risk of burns and poisoning to children.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the gas and fuel containers immediately and contact Fastbuy for a full refund. Consumers should disassemble the spout, cut it into pieces with scissors and dispose of it separately from the container. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" on the container and submit photos of the product to ZimtownFuelCanrecall@outlook.com separately.
Contact: Fastbuy by email at ZimtownFuelCanrecall@outlook.com or online at www.zimtown.com and select recalls.
