Hurt, care not known Made Jul 25, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 22, 2011
The product, in the report: Gel fuel
I am writing this letter in hopes that all citronella fuel gel is pulled off the market. On June 12, 2011 I was at a friend’s house getting ready to eat crabs. While trying to light candles to keep bugs away, the can exploded. In a blink of an eye, I was burned. My hair, face, neck and inside of my left arm. The product is very dangerous because you could not see a flame or any type of smoke. I would never want anyone to go through what I did. Please please have it removed. I have enclosed a copy of the product and a picture of me to show just how horrible it was.
