What the authority reported
This product presents a risk of fire because the butane cylinders have been filled with a mixture of butane and propane outside of the parameters for commercial butane defined in BS4250. This will result in a higher vapour pressure within the cylinder than usual. Butane regulators are manufactured to BSEN12864 or BSEN16129, which require them to be designed for a maximum inlet pressure of 7.5bar as a maximum. Should the inlet pressure of the regulator exceed the design pressure, this could lead to leakage of joints, failure of components or gas/flames to be emitted from the appliance itself. This product does not meet the requirements of The Gas Appliances (Enforcement) and Miscellaneous Amendments Regulations 2018.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
