The Coleman Company is recalling about 95 Northstar liquid fuel lanterns because an incorrect gas feed tube was installed during manufacturing. This defect can cause the lantern to release too much fuel when lit, leading to unexpected fires. Two incidents have already been reported where lanterns caught fire due to fuel leaking from the bottom, although no injuries have occurred. These green lanterns were sold at sporting goods stores and online at coleman.com between November 2013 and February 2014 for approximately $125.
The incorrect gas feed tube can release an excessive amount of fuel while the lantern is in use. This poses a significant fire and burn hazard as fuel can leak from the bottom of the unit and ignite unexpectedly.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lanterns and contact The Coleman Company, Inc. for a replacement lantern.
