Camp Stoves Sold Exclusively at Dick's Sporting Goods Recalled Due to Burn Hazard
CPSC recall 09123 · announced February 10, 2009 · Rankam Group · 6,700 units affected
The product
This recall involves the "Field & Stream" dual burner camp stove, which is a propane-fueled portable stove. The style number (#CEH00475) can be located on the product's packaging. The "Field & Stream" logo is on the back panel of the stove behind the burners.
The hazard
Gas could flow at a rate that would produce higher than expected flames. Rainwater in the burners can also prevent proper ignition and allow gas to build-up and ignite unexpectedly. These conditions pose burn hazards to consumers.
What to do (per CPSC)
Consumers should stop using the camp stoves immediately, and contact Dick's Sporting Goods to receive a free repair kit.
