Home Hardware Recalls Butane 9000 and 9001 Portable Gas Ranges
Home Hardware has recalled their portable gas ranges that you might have in your camping gear collection...
- Home Butane 9000 (Sold in Canada from January 1997 to January 2008 with UPC 400063471432)
- 9001 Portable Gas Ranges (Sold in Canada from March 2007 to December 2014 with UPC 400063471395).
The gas ranges have a single burner and control knob. They are black in colour with the brand name "Home" and "BUTANE 9000" or "BUTANE 9001" written on the front face plate of the unit. The UPC code can be found on the hard case the product is stored in or on the product packaging.
The cooking grate for the portable gas range can be installed incorrectly, resulting in increased pressure in the unit while in use, posing an explosion and fire hazard to consumers.
Thankfully the chances of catching fire are extremely low out of the 90,000 units that were sold in Canada. If you have one, simply return it to your local Home Hardware store for a partial refund.
