Canada
1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid portable fuel containers (sold as “Kerosene — K1 Clean Burning Fuel” on Amazon.ca) are transparent plastic bottles with white caps and a multicolour label reading “KEROSENE” and “1-K HEATER FUEL”; the lot/production code is printed on the bottom or back and the UPC barcode is on the label. They were recalled because the pre-filled containers lack a flame mitigation device and the closures are not child-resistant, posing a risk of flash fire, burns and poisoning. Consumers should stop using the product immediately, keep it out of reach of children, and contact Alliance Chemical for a full refund (phone 1-512-365-6838, email sales@alliancechemical.com).

The hazard
The pre-filled fuel containers do not include a flame mitigation device. This poses a deadly risk of flash fire if vapours ignite during pouring (e.g., near an open flame or hot surface). Additionally, the closures are not child-resistant, posing a risk of burn and poisoning to children if they access the bottle.
As of May 11, 2026, the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada.
