Ozark Trail or "Wenzel" propane-fueled camping lanterns
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Wenzel and Ozark Trail propane camping lanterns are subject to a recall due to a connection problem between the lantern and propane cylinder that can allow gas to escape and ignite unexpectedly, creating a fire and injury hazard during lighting or normal use. The recalled lanterns are green and silver with brass fittings, a glass globe, and stand approximately 9 inches high without the cylinder attached. They sit on a green plastic base when attached to the propane cylinder. Ozark Trail models 824927 and 824928 have a double cloth mantle, while Wenzel models 824208, 824226, 824227, and 824401 have either double or single cloth mantles. Lanterns purchased after September 1, 2001 are not affected by this recall.
According to the recall notice, affected consumers should immediately stop using the lanterns and detach them from the propane cylinder. Consumers should return only the lantern (not the propane cylinder, which is sold separately) to the store where it was purchased for a refund.
