to stop selling firepots and table-top burners that use pourable alcohol-based fuels, following a string of deadly accidents that sparked calls from doctors and victims’ families to ban the popular ou

tdoor products.

The notice also warned users not to operate the devices without specific safety measures, including making sure the flame is fully extinguished and the container has cooled completely before refuelling. Flames can sometimes be difficult to detect under certain lighting conditions and when a low amount of fuel is left in the firepot, so Health Canada advises using a snuffer or a similar tool.

Users should always make sure the burners are on a stable and level surface, placed at a safe distance from people and anything flammable, and that the fuel itself is always tightly capped and safely stored away.
