Risk and measures
- Risk or hazard
- The portable fireplaces allow consumers to pour ethanol into the burner and then ignite the pooled ethanol fuel in the same location it was poured. Health Canada has determined that this hazardous device configuration presents a risk of flame jetting and poses a health and safety risk to consumers. Flame jetting occurs when fuel vapours around a poured fuel stream ignite when a user refuels a portable fire product that is still burning, possibly when a flame is not readily visible. It can also occur when the flame is extinguished but the device is still hot. This can result in a burst of flaming fuel being rapidly expelled out of the container and travelling a distance dangerous to the user and bystanders. Flame jetting occurs very quickly, so the user and/or bystanders are unable to react quickly enough to move away from an incoming flame jet. Please visit this page for more information on flame jetting and portable products that use pourable alcohol-based fuels. Additionally, the products do not meet the labelling requirements for consumer chemical products sold with the intention of being filled with a hazardous chemical product, as required by the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001, under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. The lack of appropriate labelling and hazard information could contribute to a flame jetting incident and/or unintentional exposure to the product and lead to serious illness, injury or death. As of April 7th, 2026, the company has received no reports of incidents or injury in Canada.
