CPSC, Marshall Gas Controls Announce Recall of LP-Gas Regulators Used on Gas Gri...
Reason for Recall / Hazard
Some of these regulators were assembled with an undersized seat disc that could become dislodged and leak propane gas. Propane gas is highly flammable and could ignite, causing a fire or explosion. Consumers should immediately close the valve on the service cylinder if LP-Gas leakage is detected.
