Fire Hazard Leads to Recall of Products

Three reports of swelling and/or ruptured propane gas hoses have prompted a recall of four products sold nationwide.

The Consumer Product Safety Division (CPSC) is warning people to stop using the items from Pearl River Propane Hoses, which were sold online by Walmart, Amazon, and Home Depot.

The impacted hoses were also sold at Wayfair.com and eBay.com from January 2021 through May 2021 for about $20 for propane hoses and about $45 for propane-powered torches.
