CPSC, Cascade Designs, Inc. Announce Recall of Stove Fuel
Fire
The hazard
A manufacturing defect in the can's seam and an insufficiently applied fuel cap can cause the can to leak fuel, posing a fire hazard.
Incidents reported: No incidents or injuries have been reported. However, CPSC and Cascade Designs discovered and subsequently investigated forty-one leaking cans found in Cascade's distribution center.
What to do now
(1) Consumers should immediately check their stove fuel cans for leaks. If the can is leaking, consumers should move it to a location where there are no ignition sources and then transfer the fuel to an approved fuel container. (2) Consumers should contact Cascade Designs Inc. to receive a replacement fuel container and funnel.
Contact: For additional information, contact Cascade Designs at (800) 531-9531 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.msrgear.com
