Product:
Conversion Underground Propane Storage Tanks
American Welding & Tank LLC, of Jesup, Ga voluntarily recalled about 11,000 Conversion Underground Propane Storage Tanks. An odorant was added to propane to help alert customers to propane leaks, but rust inside a propane tank can cause the odor to fade. Some converted above-ground to underground converted tanks can have an increased susceptibili ty to odor fade, causing consumers to be unable to detect the odor of propane in the event of a gas leak. This can pose a fire and burn hazard to consumers if there is a leak in the propane gas system. At the time of the recall, the company reported that it had received a report in which two individuals sustained first and second degree burn injuries, as they were attempting to ignite an outside fireplace. The recall includes 120 gallon to 1,000 gallon underground propane storage tanks which were previously converted from above-ground to underground storage tanks in the period of January 2005 through April 2008. These products were sold at retail propane dealers in the eastern United States, from January 2005 through April 2008.
