Everclear is a line of rectified spirits produced by the American company Luxco. It is made from grain and bottled at up to 95% alcohol by volume. While the brand has been iconic for decades, it holds a "notorious reputation" for its extreme potency and has been at the center of significant public safety controversies. These concerns include risks of acute alcohol poisoning, its role as a facilitator in sexual assaults, and its high flammability, which has led to numerous documented incidents of catastrophic burn injuries. The manufacturer, Luxco, has faced intense criticism and legal action over allegations of deceptive marketing practices after it removed explicit fire warnings from its labels while simultaneously promoting the product for dangerous uses.
