Hyperfuels Methanol and Ethanol Containers Recalled for Safety Risks

WASHINGTON - Hyperfuels methanol and ethanol fuel containers announced for recall Sept. 24, 2026, may pose serious risks of child poisoning and flame jetting, according to a federal safety notice.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the containers do not meet several mandatory federal safety requirements for portable fuel containers. They lack flame-mitigation devices intended to help prevent flames from traveling back into the container and causing a dangerous burst of fire.

The methanol container also is not child-resistant as required under federal packaging rules. If young children swallow methanol, they could suffer serious injury or die, the agency said. The notice also identifies labeling violations, though it does not provide additional product-distribution details.

The recall applies to Hyperfuels containers holding methanol and ethanol fuel. The recalling firm’s name, sales locations, product dates, lot numbers and UPC information were not included in the available notice.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled containers and keep them away from children. They should contact the manufacturer for information about receiving a refund or replacement.

Fuel containers that fail to control flame propagation can create a severe fire hazard during use. Methanol is toxic if swallowed, making secure child-resistant packaging especially important in homes, garages and other areas where children may have access.
