recalls-rappels.canada.caHealth Canada warns that ZGRMBO Tabletop fire box sold on Amazon.ca may pose a flame jetting and fire hazard - Canada.caHealth Canada has determined that the ZGRMBO Decorative tabletop fire box can cause flame jetting from fuel containers, resulting in serious or fatal burns. The ZGRMBO Decorative tabletop fire box is an open decorative container that requires consumers to pour isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol into the reservoir and then ignite the pooled alcohol in the same location it was poured. Flame jetting can occur when refilling fuel in a ZGRMBO Decorative tabletop fire box if any flame or hot surface is present. A flame in a ZGRMBO Decorative tabletop fire box can be hard to see and the vapours inside the fuel container can ignite as it is poured into the fireplace. This can lead to flames violently shooting out of the fuel container or a dangerous explosion that propels flames and burning liquid onto the consumer or bystanders. Isopropyl alcohol burns with flame temperatures over 850oC and can cause third degree burns in less than one second. Igniting pooled alcohol in the open reservoir of the ZGRMBO Decorative tabletop fire box creates an uncontrollable pool fire, which can suddenly produce larger, hotter flames that can spread beyond the product. Health Canada is aware of one flame jetting incident in Canada resulting in burn injuries.
