WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Safety Product Commission announced a voluntary recall of more than 1.6 million bottles of gel fuel due to flash fire hazards.
The recall announced this week is an extension of last week's purging of gel fuel under various brand names.
This week's announcement includes the recall of about 1.6 million bottles produced by Bird Brain Inc. of Ypsilanti, Mich., and 39,000 bottles produced by Marshall Group of Elkhart, Ind., under the brand name Marshall Gardens PatioGlo Bio-Fuel Gel.
Splattering gel fuel can ignite, causing dangerous flash fires, the commission said in a statement.
Consumers were advised to contact each of these firms for a full refund.
Marshall Group sold two brands from November 2010 until August 2011 for between $8 and $13. Bird Brain sold various brands from October 2008 through August 2011 for up to $18 and sold multi-packs for between $18 and $136.
Consumers can contact Marshall Group at 855-270-8482 and Bird Brain at 877-414-0842 for more information.
