Reasons the product is recalled

The product does not meet the required gas safety standard. The threaded component may be difficult to connect to the butane canister.

Gas can leak for longer than the expected short burst when screwing the product onto the canister. If this occurs near an ignition source, the released flammable gas may ignite resulting in a fire or serious illness, injury or death.
