Demlar LLC and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of MoonSoll and Magic Chems fuel bottles on November 20, 2025. Demlar imports both brands into the United States. The recalled bottles are clear, in 500 mL and 1,000 mL sizes, and have either a red or green cap. They do not have the flame-mitigation device required by federal law, creating a flash-fire risk, and they were mislabeled “Non-Toxic.” The recall is still open. Consumers should stop using any recalled bottle immediately, keep it away from children, and contact Demlar for a full refund. No injuries had been reported as of the recall notice.

Latest Magic Chems Fuel Bottle Recall Updates

November 20, 2025: CPSC and Demlar Announce the Recall

The CPSC and Demlar LLC announced this voluntary recall on November 20, 2025. It covers about 18,200 MoonSoll and Magic Chems bottles [1]. The recall number is 26-102. The bottles lack a flame-mitigation device required by the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act, and Demlar mislabeled them “Non-Toxic.” Amazon.com sold the bottles from May through July 2025. No injuries had been reported to CPSC before the recall was announced.

Which Magic Chems Bottles Are Affected?

Consumers should check any MoonSoll or Magic Chems bioethanol fuel bottle against these details:
  • Clear plastic bottle with a red or green cap
  • 500 mL or 1,000 mL size
  • Sold individually or in three-packs
  • Brand name and capacity printed on the bottle’s label near the cap
Demlar marketed these bottles as fuel for tabletop fire pits, fireplaces, stoves, and burners, so any of those appliances could hold an affected bottle. Consumers who are unsure whether their bottle qualifies should compare the brand name and size on the label to this list, since both brand names share the same bottle design. A bottle that does not match the cap color, size, or pack format listed above is not part of this recall.

Why Was Magic Chems Recalled?

MoonSoll and Magic Chems fuel bottles were recalled because they were missing the flame-mitigation device the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act requires, creating a flash-fire risk. Demlar also labeled the bottles “Non-Toxic,” a separate violation involving the product’s label. CPSC’s recall notice lists the missing flame-mitigation device as the primary hazard. The standard exists to keep bottles like these from igniting near an open flame, such as a lit tabletop fire pit. CPSC’s notice also cites the Federal Hazardous Substances Act for the false “Non-Toxic” label, since the bottles hold flammable bioethanol fuel rather than a genuinely non-hazardous household product.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s recall notice states that no incidents or injuries were reported before Demlar and CPSC announced the recall on November 20, 2025. That count reflects reports received by CPSC and Demlar up to the notice date. An absence of reported incidents does not mean the hazard cannot cause harm. CPSC still required the recall because the missing flame-mitigation device creates a flash-fire risk during normal use, regardless of whether an incident has occurred yet. Consumers who experience a flash fire or an injury involving one of these bottles can report it to CPSC. They can also report it to Demlar using the contact information below.

  5. Contact Demlar collect at 943-212-3054 (10 a.m.-6 p.m. ET) or info@demlar.com for a refund, or report a safety issue to CPSC at cpsc.gov/Recalls.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Two other 2025 CPSC recalls cover similar bioethanol fuel bottles. Both involve the same missing flame-mitigation device, though only one of the two names a separate importer. CPSC recalled Wilteexs Bioethanol Fuel Bottles on October 16, 2025. That recall, number 26-030, covered about 1,100 units [2]. CPSC recalled Astemrey “Y’all Can DIY” Liquid Bioethanol Fireplace Fuel Containers on November 6, 2025. That recall, number 26-079, covered about 14,000 units [3]. Neither recall involves Demlar, MoonSoll, or Magic Chems bottles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There a Lawsuit Against Demlar or Magic Chems?

No lawsuit, class action, or federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) has been filed against Demlar or Magic Chems. As of September 1, 2026, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation’s Pending MDLs page listed no MDL or lawsuit involving Demlar, MoonSoll, or Magic Chems.

Is the Magic Chems Recall Connected to Other Fire Pit Fuel Recalls?

Yes, the Magic Chems recall is connected to two other bioethanol fuel bottle recalls with the same missing safety device. The Wilteexs bottles came from a Chinese importer, while the Astemrey notice names Astemrey LLC, a Wyoming company, only as the retailer, with no importer field.

How Much Did the Recalled Magic Chems Fuel Bottles Cost?

The recalled MoonSoll and Magic Chems fuel bottles cost between $16 and $32 on Amazon.com. CPSC’s recall notice states that price range directly, separate from the unit count and identifiers used to confirm which bottles are covered.

How Should I Dispose of a Recalled Magic Chems Fuel Bottle?

Dispose of a recalled fuel bottle through your local household hazardous-waste program, not by pouring out the fuel or throwing it in regular trash. Keep it sealed with the label still marked “Do Not Use” until you drop it off.

Do I Have to Pay to Call Demlar About a Recalled Fuel Bottle?

You do not have to pay to call Demlar about a recalled fuel bottle. Demlar’s recall line accepts collect calls, so the company pays for the call. Consumers can also contact CPSC directly to report a safety problem with the bottle.

Who Imported the Recalled Magic Chems and MoonSoll Fuel Bottles?

Demlar LLC, doing business as Demlar Online Store, imported the recalled Magic Chems and MoonSoll fuel bottles from its office in Casper, Wyoming. A manufacturer in Turkey produced the bottles for Demlar.
