What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Zimtown Portable Gas and Fuel Cans?
Zimtown Portable Gas and Fuel Cans was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The fuel containers violate the requirement for closures under the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act because the closure is not child-resistant, posing a risk of burns and poisoning to children. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the gas and fuel containers immediately and contact Fastbuy for a full refund. Consumers should disassemble the spout, cut it into pieces with scissors and dispose of it separately from the container. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" on the container and submit photos of the product to ZimtownFuelCanrecall@outlook.com separately. Sold at: Online at Walmart.com and Zimtown.com from May 2026 through July 2026 for between $32 and $63.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 200 units of Zimtown Portable Gas and Fuel Cans are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
