What Is Flame Jetting? Why Do Victims Need Legal Help?
Flame jetting occurs when a burst of vapor ignites from a fuel container or prefilled fuel product, shooting out a blowtorch-like flame and causing severe burns or fatal injuries. As noted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), hundreds of Americans have suffered traumatic injuries due to defective designs lacking adequate flame mitigation devices (FMDs).
The CPSC's January 2023 regulatory rewrite mandates flame mitigation in gas cans, diesel containers, lighter fuel bottles, and fireplace fuels. Manufacturers must meet new federal standards under ASTM F3326-21, ASTM F3429/F3429M-24, and UL 30:2022, or risk liability for injuries or deaths resulting from explosion or flashback incidents.

Rising Standards and Expanded Legal Rights for Consumers
Recent changes in U.S. law have expanded manufacturer and distributor responsibilities and increased liability for burns, product explosions, and failed safety measures. Key targeted products include:
Portable gasoline, diesel, and kerosene containers
Workplace safety cans regulated by OSHA
Butane lighter refill bottles
Ethanol fireplace fuel
Prefilled lighter fluid containers
According to Zambrano, "The upgraded standards are a major win for consumer safety, but litigation and aggressive investigation remain essential for holding negligent companies accountable and protecting future victims."
