Recall Published Date: 4 Nov 2018 Primus Australia Pty Ltd t/as Companion Brands — Companion Portable Butane Stoves (Single & Dual Burner) Product Safety Recall The ACCC - Australian Competition & Consumer Commission - has published a recall notice for two models of Companion brand portable butane stoves. Primus Butane Stove Models Companion single burner (COMP01023) Companion double burner (COMP01034) PRA No. 2018/17129 Companion Portable Butane Stoves Product description AGA certification number 8704 10 615 affected stove units What is a Portable Butane Stove? Portable butane stove cookers are small single and double burner stove tops powered by butane cartridges. They usually weigh about 2kg and are typically transported in a small plastic carrying case. The portability of these units makes them very popular with campers, caravaners and 4WD enthusiasts. They typically sold for under $30. Disposable Butane Cartridges for Butane Stoves The 220g disposable butane cartridges simply slide into the unit and are locked in place. Many of these cartridges are now equipped with a Countersink Release Vent (CRV). The CRV is a safety feature that is designed into the cartridge to allow the release of some gas in an over pressure situation, as would occur when exposed to excess heat. This helps to eliminate any risk of explosion. Empty butane cartridges should be disposed of properly. Community recycling centres are the best place to take any empties What are the Defects? In some stoves, the gas valve may leak during operation as the gas safety valve may not fully seal at the gas cartridge end during operation. What are the Hazards? Improper sealing may cause a gas leak. If the gas valve leaks during operation, there is a risk of explosion or fire. This may result in injury to consumers or damage to surrounding areas. What Should Consumers Do? Consumers should return their appliance immediately to Companion Brands or the place of purchase to receive a full refund of the purchase price.
