“This product does not comply with the requirements of the mandatory AS/NZS 3504:2006 Fire blankets standard,” it said, adding the blanket may therefore fail to control or extinguish a fire.
“There is a risk of serious burn injuries and/or property damage if the fire blanket does not control or extinguish a fire.”
The woven glass fibre fire blanket is stored in a red plastic pouch with two black pull handles. The product code is 562939, product number SCA100 and model number MF100.
Consumers are advised to “immediately stop using” the blanket and instead return it to their nearest Supercheap Auto store for a full refund.
The fire blanket was sold in-store nationally and online between August 2018 and December 2022.
