Worthington Cylinders Wisconsin is recalling propylene gas cylinders used for soldering, brazing, cutting, and welding due to a fire hazard. The seal on these cylinders can leak after torches or other fuel-consuming equipment are disconnected from them. The affected cylinders contain 14.1 oz Map-Pro, 14.1 oz Propylene, or 16 oz MAPP gas, are approximately 3 inches in diameter and 11 inches tall, and are either yellow or black in color. They were sold under multiple brand names including Worthington, Bernzomatic, Craftsman, Mag-Torch, and others, both individually and in kits with torches.
According to the recall, consumers with unused cylinders that have never been connected to a torch should not use them and should return them to the store of purchase for an exchange or full refund. For partially-used cylinders currently connected to a torch, consumers should take the cylinder outdoors and burn off its entire contents before disconnecting and disposing of it or returning it to the store. For partially-used cylinders not currently connected, consumers should test the cylinder seal with soapy water; if bubbles appear, the cylinder should be taken outdoors and burned off completely; if no bubbles appear, the cylinder should be returned to the store of purchase for an exchange or full refund.
