What happened

Smart Solar is recalling pourable gel fuel sold in 30-ounce plastic bottles labeled "Smart Garden" and "SmartJel," available in both citronella and unscented formulas (model numbers SJ3200 and SJ3201). The fuel can ignite unexpectedly and splatter when poured into firepots that are still burning, particularly if a consumer does not notice an active flame before pouring. The splattering ignited gel poses serious fire and burn risks to people and nearby objects.

Consumers who have purchased this gel fuel should immediately stop using it in firepots and return all bottles to Smart Solar for a full refund. The source does not specify additional details about how to arrange the return.
