Even if the box is brand new but has been preprinted with a hazardous material label it is not allowed on aircraft. I know an individual that was flying to Europe for a cycling trip. They purchased a new MSR Whisperlite stove for the occasion. The airlines ticket clerk would not allow the stove aboard the plane, as I mentioned, it was brand new. My guess would be that the clerk got a new stove out of the deal.
