Hurt, no treatment Made Aug 13, 2025, sent to the company Aug 18, 2025, published by CPSC Sep 9, 2025
The product, in the report: Fuel can is from Fuel Worx. 2.5 gallons. Has a push button for pressure valve release.
Hello. I had a gas can explode in my garage. Spraying fuel all over the place, all over my charging packs that were plugged in. 2.5 gallons of fuel all inside my garage. Fuel is still coming out of the concrete. Had a restoration company come in with fans and Hydroxel machines and took out [REDACTED]. They have a quarantine set up, but fuel is still coming out. Literally melted all my power tools and batteries. The fumes also got into my HVAC system and me, my wife and kids all got sick from breathing in fumes. Im fighting with my insurance company now about this. The fuel can is from FuelWorx. The president of the company does not want to do anything for me. This could have blown up my house and killed me and my family and possibly could have blown up the neighbors house as well. Something needs to be done about these cans and with what my family and I are all going through. My garage Is still a mess from this and it has been 1 month ago today this happened.

The product, in the report: Fuelworx Gasoline fuel container, fuelworx, 2.5 gallon, “premium gas can”, “stackable”, red. Model 47902-C1 UPC 863424479025
I bought a Fuelworx premium 2.5 gallon stackable gas can, filled it up and placed it in my car only to have it leak fuel through the bottom of the container where the black perforated plastic. I was driving when I started smelling gasoline fumes. It’s only a matter of time before this issue results in a consumer becoming overwhelmed by gasoline fumes while driving, possibly causing an accident, other neurological deficits, or catching fire. I’ve found numerous reviews indicating others have had similar issues on Amazon. This product is horribly unsafe.
