No matter what kind of powersports enthusiast you are, chances are excellent that you might have a red plastic fuel jug (or two, or three) sitting around. They're one of those products where you just pick one up when you need it, and most of the time, you probably don't pay a whole lot of attention to what the branding might be on it.
However, if you have any red plastic fuel containers in your possession, you may want to go check that they're not a Scepter B62 Gas and Oil Combination Fuel Container. To make matters somewhat easier, Scepter's name is molded into the side of these containers, so there's no worry if you took any stickers off the outside of a container when you bought it.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for Scepter B62 Gas and Oil Combination Fuel Containers in February 2026 due to two separate issues. Firstly, they apparently lack a required flame mitigation device that all portable fuel containers must have. According to the CPSC's requirements, such devices "impede the propagation of flame into the container."
