SCG Liquid Propane Overfill Protection Devices (OPD valves)

Publicado el 27 de enero de 2004

Resumen

CPSC registra el retiro 04070, publicado el 27 de enero de 2004. Empresa responsable: SCG Miyairi (Thailand) Company, LTD, of Thailand; Unidades reportadas: 21,000.

Qué peligro representa

When the cylinder on the gas grill is filled to capacity and exposed to increased temperatures, liquid propane, instead of gas vapor, can leak out and cause the gas regulator valve to freeze. When the regulator valve thaws, if it has not been turned off, gas will flow to the grill. The resulting build-up of gas in the grill can pose a serious fire hazard to consumers.

Qué hacer

Consumers should stop using the gas cylinders immediately and contact the company. SCG will identify, for callers who have one of the recalled units, a local LP gas exchange center, which will replace the cylinder with one that has a new OPD valve. Do not take the LP gas cylinder to an LP gas refiller. Consumers should not attempt to remove the OPD or gas valve themselves.
