What happened

Evergreen Enterprises is recalling pourable gel fuel sold in 30-ounce plastic bottles under the brand names "Fireside," "Evergreen," and "Flag & Garden." The gel fuel can ignite unexpectedly and splatter when poured into a firepot that is still burning, particularly if the consumer does not notice the flame is still active. This splattering can cause fires and severe burns that may be fatal. The recall affects two products: Fireside Gel Fuel (model 5G001, UPC 746851581199) and Fireside Gel Fuel-Citronella (model 5G002, UPC 746851581205), both sold in cases of 12 bottles.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the pourable gel fuel and return it to Evergreen Enterprises for a full refund.
