Here are newly announced recalls and safety warnings from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Food and Drug Administration.

Cummins is recalling nearly 3,000 dual-fuel portable generators after reports of fuel discharging and caps ejecting unexpectedly.

Cummins Inc., of Columbus, Indiana, is recalling Cummins Onan P5000iDF EFI Dual Fuel Portable Generators sold in dark gray. The generators run on gasoline or propane and produce between 4,500 and 5,000 watts, depending on the fuel used. Cummins said incorrectly installed valves can keep gasoline vapors from venting properly from the tank.

The faulty valve installation can allow dangerous pressure to build inside the gasoline tank. That pressure can force fuel out of the unit or cause the fuel cap to eject, creating a serious fire and burn hazard. The company has received 11 reports of fuel discharging from the unit and fuel caps ejecting unexpectedly, including one report of a consumer being splashed in the face with fuel. No medical attention was needed.
