Ha!

They stopped making it because we no longer have adults in the world who accept
responsibility for their own behaviour.  Instead we have aged children asserting
the false claim that they're adults.
Then, when they hurt themselves with Big Boy drinks, they rush to blame anyone
from themselves and seek to profit off of a corrupt judicial system, enabled by
personal injury attorney with no moral compass (ambulance chasers).

Wikipedia:
Because of its high alcohol content, Bacardi 151 was particularly flammable
among liquors. For this reason it was often used as the ignition source for
"flaming shots"[3][4] and even for at-home pyrotechnic stunts.[5] The bottle
carried a warning label advising consumers, among other things, "do not use this
product for flaming dishes or other drinks." Bottles were also equipped with a
stainless steel flame arrester crimped onto the neck of the bottle to prevent
the rum inside the bottle from igniting. Nevertheless, Bacardi faced at least
two lawsuits from consumers who claimed to have been badly injured by the
product's flames.[6][7] While the company never issued a formal statement
regarding the product's discontinuation, it has been speculated that "it's a
pretty good guess that Bacardi got sick of being sued."[2]

After all, they still manufacture and sell Everclear, which is not 151 proof,
but 190 proof.

We also have Red 40, hair dyes, gas pumps, aerosol carburetor cleaner, bleach,
sulfuric acid toilet bowl cleaner and muriatic acid, fireworks, lp gas,
automobiles, laser pointers, kitchen knives, acetaminophen, . . . it's nearly an
infinite list.
