CPSC, Snow Peak USA, Inc., Announce Recall of Gas Camping Stoves to Replace Pumps
Snow Peak USA, Inc., of Clackamas, Ore.
Hazard
Plastic parts in the pump connected to the camping stove can crack or become dislodged. When exposed to extreme temperature change, the blue plastic shrinks around the aluminum parts and has been observed to crack the outer plastic housing. The air tube on some of the pumps can become unglued and dislodged. Both of these failures can permit gas to leak.
Remedy
Consumers should return the pump to the store where purchased or to the firm for a free replacement pump. To return the pump to Snow Peak USA, please call customer service for Snow Peak's UPS account number and a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number to add to the outside of the box for quicker turn-around time.
Sold at
Camping and outdoor recreation stores nationwide, from August 2001 through June 2004, for about $150. The pump was sold separately for about $40. See www.snowpeak.com for a list of retailers.
