Firefly Safe & Green 32 oz. torch fuel bottles were sold at Amazon.com, Walmart.com and fireflyfuel.com. The fuel contains hydrocarbons, and its nozzle applicator is not child-resistant as required, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning to young children; it is also incorrectly labeled "Non-Toxic."

What to do

Consumers should immediately remove the nozzle applicator from the recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. Fuel bottle and reinstall the child-resistant closure that was included with the product's original packaging. If the child-resistant closure is not readily available, consumers should immediately secure the recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. fuel bottle out of the sight and reach of children. Consumers should contact Firefly Fuel for a free corrected label to put on the bottle and a free replacement child-resistant lid, if the original is missing.

Contact: Firefly Fuel Inc. toll-free at 888-472-6740 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email Firefly Fuel at support@fireflyfuel.com, or online at www.fireflyfuel.com and click "Recall" at the top of the page for more information.

Official notice

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

The recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. fuel bottles contain hydrocarbons, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The product includes a nozzle applicator which is not child-resistant, violating the mandatory standard. When the applicator is used instead of the child-resistant closure, it poses a deadly poisoning hazard to young children. Hydrocarbons can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia and pulmonary damage, which can be fatal. In addition, the torch fuel violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because it is incorrectly labeled as "Non-Toxic".

Sold at

Amazon.com, Walmart.com and at www.fireflyfuel.com from August 2019 through May 2025 for about $20.
