Worthington Industries is recalling about 121,100 Balloon Time Mini Helium Tanks used for inflating party balloons. Compressed helium can leak from the tank and cause the plastic cap to be unexpectedly ejected as a projectile. No injuries have been reported, but the flying cap poses a risk of striking and injuring users or bystanders. Consumers should stop using the tanks immediately and follow specific safety steps to vent the gas and apply for a refund.
The pressurized helium inside the tank can escape, causing the plastic cap to be propelled into the air without warning. This poses a projectile hazard that can cause impact injuries to anyone in the vicinity.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mini helium tanks. Consumers should point the tank away from themselves and others, and carefully remove the plastic safety seal and cap. Release all helium in a well-ventilated area and then clearly write their name, "RECALLED" and destruction code on the front of the tank with a non-erasable marker. Consumers should register online at www.recallrtr.com/miniheliumtank and upload a photo of their product for a full refund. After receiving a refund, consumers should properly discard the product.
Tanks measure about 13.5 inches tall by 3.5 inches in diameter.
