The short answer

Announced by CPSC on May 21, 2008. Copied from CPSC on Oct 19, 2026.

Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Under extreme cold and dry weather conditions, an explosion could occur because of sparking in the fuel tank, when it is partially filled with gasoline at a low vapor pressure and the engine is left idling. This could cause serious injuries or death.
