Sunnyside Kerosene Heater and Appliance Fluid Portable Fuel Containers

Sunnyside Corporation, of Wheeling, Illinois, is recalling its gallon 1-K Kerosene Heater and Appliance Fluid Portable Fuel Containers because the pre-filled fuel containers violate the mandatory safety standards of the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act, lacking flame mitigation devices, which poses a deadly risk of flash fire and burn hazard.

The recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on August 13, 2026, and involves about 960 units. No incidents have been reported.

The recalled containers are white plastic bottles with white caps and a multicolor label with the words "sunnyside" and "kerosene". They have labels on the front and back with warning statements and distributor information. The containers were sold at Amazon.com and Do-It Best Hardware Stores from May 2026 through July 2026 for about $13.

Consumers should stop using the recalled fuel bottles immediately, place them out of reach of children, and contact Sunnyside for a full refund. Consumers should dispose of the fuel bottles in accordance with local and state regulations, noting that kerosene fuel is hazardous and should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
