Firepot Fuel Recall



     WASHINGTON (AP) - Ten companies are recalling 2 million bottles
and jugs of the gel fuel used in outdoor decorations known as
firepots because of the risk of serious burns.
     The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the gel fuel has
been linked to several dozen injuries when users could not tell
whether the flame was extinguished. Pouring more gel on a burning
pot can lead to dangerous flares or burns.
     The companies recalling gel fuel are: Bird Brain Inc. of
Ypsilanti, Mich.; Bond Manufacturing of Antioch, Calif.; Sunjel
Company of Milwaukee; Fuel Barons Inc. of Lake Tahoe, Nev.;
Lamplight Farms Inc, of Menomonee Falls, Wis.; Luminosities Inc. of
St. Paul, Minn.; Marshall Group of Elkhart, Ind.; Pacific Decor
Ltd. of Woodinville, Wash.; Real Flame of Racine, Wis.; Smart Solar
USA of Oldsmar, Fla.
