What was recalled
This recall involves 1-K Kerosene Heater Fluid (sold as "Kerosene — K1 Clean Burning Fuel" on Amazon.ca). Transparent plastic portable fuel containers with white caps. Multi-colour label with "KEROSENE" in capital white lettering and "1-K HEATER FUEL" in similar lettering. Single front-panel label with warnings and distributor information. The lot/production code is printed on the bottom or back of the bottle and the UPC barcode can be found on the label.
Why it was recalled
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.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product, keep it out of reach of children and contact Alliance Chemical for a full refund.
