Deli Jerry Fuel Containers Sold on Walmart.com Recalled for Burn, Poison Risks
CPSC announced Aug. 13; consumers should stop use and contact seller for refund or replacement

Washington, D.C. Consumers who bought Deli Jerry portable fuel containers on Walmart.com were warned Sunday to stop using the product after a federal recall citing burn and child poisoning dangers. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the containers sold by Deli OfficeSupplies fail to meet the child resistant closure requirement under the Children’s Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. The agency says the closure can allow children access to the fuel, creating a risk of serious burns and poisoning. The recall, announced Aug. 13, 2026, covers fuel containers marketed under the Deli Jerry name and sold through Walmart’s online marketplace. The CPSC said the main hazard stems from the container’s closure, which is not child resistant and therefore does not comply with the mandatory federal standard for portable fuel containers. Officials urged purchasers to stop using the recalled containers immediately. Consumers should secure the product out of reach of children and contact the seller or manufacturer for a refund or replacement. The recall notice did not list specific lot numbers or UPCs in the summary; consumers who are unsure whether their unit is affected should review the full agency posting or contact the retailer. Retailers are expected to cooperate with the recall process, and the CPSC typically works with sellers and manufacturers to remove noncompliant products from the marketplace. The agency’s announcement is intended to prevent injuries that can result from accidental exposures or ignition of fuel.
