Are there any recalls or warnings for Flash Burn?
Executive summary
No source provided shows an official recall or safety warning for a product explicitly named “Flash Burn” or “FlashBurn”; however, federal regulators have repeatedly issued recalls and broad safety warnings for pourable gel fuels, liquid/bioethanol fireplace fuels, and portable fuel containers because they can cause flash fires, splatter and severe burns—alerts documented by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) across multiple actions dating back to 2011 and as recently as 2026 [1] [2] [3].
1. What “Flash Burn” might mean and how the records were searched
“Flash Burn” could refer to a brand name, a consumer supplement marketed as FlashBurn, or to injuries caused by flash fires; the records provided include CPSC recall announcements about pourable gel and liquid fuels that produce flash fires and one commercial review page for a fat‑burning supplement named FlashBurn, and the analysis below separates product‑recall evidence from supplement review coverage to avoid conflation [1] [4].
2. CPSC recalls: pourable gel fuels and obvious flash‑fire hazards (historical cohort)
The CPSC has long warned that pourable gel fuels can ignite unexpectedly and splatter when added to a still‑burning firepot, creating severe burn and flash‑fire hazards, and coordinated a multi‑firm voluntary recall in 2011 after dozens of incidents, injuries and at least two fatalities linked to these fuels [1] [5]; specific product recalls from that period include OZOfire and Real Flame pourable gel fuels and Fuel Barons pourable gel fuels, with the CPSC advising consumers to stop using and to discard these products [2] [5] [6].
3. Ongoing and more recent recalls for portable fuel containers and bioethanol fireplace fuels
Regulatory activity on flash‑fire risks did not end in 2011: the CPSC continued to post recalls where containers lacked required flame‑mitigation devices or child‑resistant closures, creating deadly flash‑fire and poisoning risks, for example the 2024 recall of BRS and BULin liquid fuel bottles sold by WAOLi and the 2026 Astemrey bioethanol fireplace fuel recall—both explicitly cited violations of mandatory standards under the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act and the Children’s Gasoline Burn Prevention Act [7] [3].
4. No documented recall for a product titled “FlashBurn” in the provided material (supplement angle)
The only mention resembling the name “FlashBurn” in the supplied material is a consumer review/marketing summary for a 2025 fat‑burning supplement called FlashBurn, which discusses ingredients, complaints and legitimacy but does not appear in the recall lists supplied here and no CPSC or FDA recall notice for that named supplement is present in the provided sources [4]; the record supplied does not prove absence of any recall beyond these sources, only that none was found in the documents given.
5. How to interpret these findings and where to look for authoritative updates
The consistent pattern across CPSC entries is clear: any pourable gel, liquid or bioethanol fuel and many portable fuel containers have been subject to recalls or warnings when they fail to meet flame‑mitigation or child‑resistance standards because they pose flash‑fire and burn hazards [1] [7] [3]; for definitive, up‑to‑date confirmation about a specific product name such as “Flash Burn” or “FlashBurn,” the authoritative sources to query are CPSC’s searchable recalls page and the FDA recalls page, as the provided materials themselves point readers to those registries for ongoing recall posts and alerts [8] [9].
