500 water bottles have been recalled
A popular water bottle has been recalled due to potential health issues, with children particularly at risk if they drink from the item.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), approximately 500 BRS and BULin Liquid Fuel Bottles do not meet the child-resistant requirements for closures under the Children’s Gasoline Burn Prevention Act (CGBPA).
The closure for the products is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children.
The warning issued by the CPSC reads: “The 530mL BRS bottle was manufactured after the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act (PFCSA) became effective and lacks a flame mitigation device, posing a flash fire hazard.”
Consumers are being urged to immediately stop using the recalled fuel bottles and place them out of reach to children. To receive a full refund, WAOLi is asking consumers to initial and date the bottles, and then submit a photo of them in the trash along with their refund request.
The bottles in question are exclusively sold on Amazon, and were available from February 2023 through November 2023 for between $12 and $40.
No injuries have been reported as a result of the bottles.
