CPSC, Snow Peak USA, Inc., Announce Recall of Gas Camping Stoves to Replace Pump...
Reason for Recall / Hazard
Plastic parts in the pump connected to the camping stove can crack or become dislodged. When exposed to extreme temperature change, the blue plastic shrinks around the aluminum parts and has been observed to crack the outer plastic housing. The air tube on some of the pumps can become unglued and dislodged. Both of these failures can permit gas to leak.
