CPSC, Wenzel Announce Recall of Ozark Trail and Wenzel Propane Camping Lanterns

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

An insufficient connection between the lantern and the propane cylinder can allow gas to escape and ignite unexpectedly, posing a potential fire and injury hazard to consumers. This hazard can occur during the lighting or normal use of the lantern.

What to do

Consumers with Ozark Trail or Wenzel lanterns should stop using them immediately and detach the lantern from the propane cylinder. Consumers should return only the lanterns to the store where purchased, for a refund.
