CPSC, SCG Miyairi Announce Recall of Liquid Propane Overfill Protection Devices

Date: January 27, 2004
Company: SCG Miyairi (Thailand) Company, LTD, of Thailand
Status: Ongoing
Source: CPSC

What You Should Do

Stop using this product immediately. Do not consume, use, or distribute it.

Consumers should stop using the gas cylinders immediately and contact the company. SCG will identify, for callers who have one of the recalled units, a local LP gas exchange center, which will replace the cylinder with one that has a new OPD valve. Do not take the LP gas cylinder to an LP gas refiller. Consumers should not attempt to remove the OPD or gas valve themselves.

Affected Products

The recalled SCG Overfill Prevention Devices (OPD) have "V5QA OPD" engraved on the body and handle and either "DT 3.8" or "DT 3.8A" printed on one side of the wrench pad and "07-02," "08-02," or "10-98" printed on the other side. The valves are installed on 20-pound liquid propane gas cylinders manufactured by the Sahamitr Pressure Container Public Co. Ltd. in Thailand. The cylinders are marked "SMPC DOT-4BA240" and have a serial number in the range of 375201 to 396800. There is no hazard with the cylinders.

Why Was This Recalled?

When the cylinder on the gas grill is filled to capacity and exposed to increased temperatures, liquid propane, instead of gas vapor, can leak out and cause the gas regulator valve to freeze. When the regulator valve thaws, if it has not been turned off, gas will flow to the grill. The resulting build-up of gas in the grill can pose a serious fire hazard to consumers.

Where Was This Sold?
