Crescent Point Energy Recalls To Inspect Propane Gas Due to Fire and Burn Hazard

http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2016/Crescent-Point-Energy-Recalls-To-Inspect-Propane-Gas/

 

Recall Summary

 

Name of Product: Propane (LP) Gas

 

Hazard: The recalled propane does not have sufficient levels of odorant to help alert consumers of a gas leak.  Failure to detect leaking gas can present fire, explosion and thermal burn hazards.

 

Remedy: Repair or Replace

 

Consumers should not attempt to test the propane themselves. Instead, they should immediately contact the retailer, supplier or Crescent Point Energy hotline to arrange for an inspection. If inspection confirms that the propane contains insufficient odorant, Crescent Point Energy will either promptly arrange for appropriate odorization or provide a replacement portable tank. Consumers should have carbon monoxide alarms in homes or other buildings that utilize gas. If consumers do smell even a faint odor of gas or a gas leak, they should immediately leave the building and call 911 or their gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Do not light a match, turn on a light or switch on anything electrical.

 

Consumer Contact: Crescent Point Energy toll free at 866-421-4266 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT, email info@youandpropane.com or online at www.youandpropane.com for more information.
