What happened

Bond Manufacturing is recalling pourable gel fuel sold in 32-ounce and 64-ounce plastic bottles and one-gallon plastic jugs, with or without citronella oil, under the brand names "Firebowl Gel Fuel" or "Firebowl Gel." The fuel is designed to be poured into a stainless steel cup in ceramic firepots or other decorative lighting devices. The recall also includes a ceramic fire pot set of two bowls sold in a box labeled "2 pack Tabletop Gel Firebowls." The hazard is that the pourable gel fuel can ignite unexpectedly and splatter onto people and nearby objects when poured into a firepot that is still burning, particularly if the consumer does not see the flame or is unaware the firepot is still ignited. This can cause fire and burn injuries that may be fatal.

Consumers who own this product should immediately stop using the pourable gel fuel in firepots and return all bottles or jugs to Bond Manufacturing for a full refund.
