CPSC, Century Tool and Manufacturing Announce Recall of Camping Stoves
03063 · Recalled 2002-12-26 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled stoves include the Century, Hillary, and LL Bean brand names. The stoves have a drip tray, two or three burners, and a black or green base, with a label identifying the brand name. The manufacturing date (050202 through 073102) and model number (4660, 4665, 4675, 4730, 4960, 72861, and 4960LLB) are printed on the inside of the stove's lid.
Hazards
The burner assembly in the stoves can restrict the flow of gas, which can cause a leak. The leaking gas can ignite and weaken the hose, causing it to separate from the stove and pose a fire hazard to consumers.
Reported injuries
Century Tool and Manufacturing has received eight reports of hoses separating from the stove, causing one minor injury.
Remedy
The firm that announced the recall is no longer in business. Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact the previous owner to arrange for returning the product and receiving a refund.
