Product description
This recall involves the "Tosca" Gel Firebowl by Bond Manufacturing Co. The affected firebowl can be identified by the Item number 66110 and the UPC number 034613661105.
Hazard identified
This product lacks the required precautionary labeling required for containers sold with the intention of being filled with a hazardous chemical product such as gel fuel.
Pourable gel fuel can ignite unexpectedly and splatter onto people and objects nearby when it is poured into a firebowl that is still burning. This hazard can occur if the consumer does not see the flame or is not aware that the firebowl is still ignited. Fuel gel that splatters and ignites can pose fire and burn risks to consumers that can be fatal.
Health Canada has received one incident report involving two injuries related to the use of this firebowl with pourable gel fuel.
