Anyone who has recently purchased kerosene from eight Kangaroo gas stations in Northeast Georgia, including two in Auburn and Bethlehem, may be in danger from an explosion or fire.
In an alert Friday morning, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black said state inspectors have locked kerosene pumps at the stations, but any customers who purchased the home-heating fuel on or after Jan. 18 should immediately stop using it.
"Contaminated kerosene has the potential to cause an explosion or fire if used in home heaters or lamps," the press release states. "Anyone who purchased kerosene at any of these locations on or after Jan. 18 should not use the kerosene and should return it for reimbursement."
