The CPA is aware that refillable 1 lb cylinder kits are being sold in Canada. The product allows consumers to refill their cylinders and comes with a stand for a home barbecue 20 lb cylinder and connectors. Consumers must be reminded that there is a safety risk for those not properly trained in the use and hazards of propane.
This recall involves Flame King, Little Kamper and U-Haul refillable propane cylinders used with outdoor appliances. Two incidents have been reported of the connecting valve starting to unscrew from the cylinder. No injuries have been reported.
The Reliable Propane Fiable©MD Commitment is aimed at enhancing risk management performance and elevating public perception about the safety and responsibility of the propane industry. Members can find out more information about the meaning of the Reliable Propane Fiable©MD Commitment and the new CPA membership branding in a section on the CPA website.
