Ozark Trail and Wenzel propane-fueled camping lanterns
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ozark Trail and Wenzel propane camping lanterns are being recalled because an insufficient connection between the lantern and propane cylinder can allow gas to escape and ignite unexpectedly, creating a fire and injury hazard. This problem can occur while lighting the lantern or during normal use. The recalled lanterns are green and silver with brass fittings, a glass globe, and stand about 9 inches tall without the cylinder attached. They sit on a green plastic base labeled "Ozark Trail" or "Wenzel" when connected to the propane cylinder. The Ozark Trail models are 824927 and 824928, and the Wenzel models are 824208, 824226, 824227, and 824401. The Wenzel models have either single or double cloth mantles, while the Ozark Trail models have double cloth mantles.
Consumers who have these lanterns should stop using them immediately and detach the lantern from the propane cylinder. The recalled lanterns should be returned to the store where they were purchased for a refund. The propane cylinder itself is not part of this recall.
