As of September 11, 2023 the company has received no reports of overheating and pressurizing or expelling fuel when opened and no reports of injury in Canada. In the United States, the company has 27 reports of overheating and pressurizing or expelling fuel when opened, including 3 incidents resulting in severe burn injures.
