  • Brand The Coleman Company Inc., of Wichita, Kan.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

The Coleman Company recalled Mosquito Deleto™ Traps sold as part of the Portable System and Back Home™ System due to safety hazards. The propane regulator on these traps can leak propane or overflow propane gas, creating a fire hazard. Additionally, the fuel hose attachment included with the Back Home™ System can become damaged and leak propane, also posing a fire hazard. The affected traps are approximately 24 inches high with a green or gray base and top, a black center, and model numbers 2950-800 or 2950-801 printed on a label on the front above the warning label.

Consumers who own these traps should stop using them immediately and contact Coleman so a representative can determine whether their specific trap needs to be replaced, repaired, or can continue to be used.
