Crescent Point Energy is recalling approximately 118 million gallons of propane gas because it may not contain enough odorant to alert people to a gas leak. This recall includes propane delivered for large home storage tanks and gas sold at retail locations for portable refillable tanks used in RVs, barbeques, and stoves. The affected propane was sold and delivered between April 2009 and October 2015. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should not attempt to test the propane themselves and should instead arrange for a professional inspection.
The propane lacks a sufficient 'rotten egg' smell, which prevents consumers from detecting dangerous gas leaks. Undetected leaks can lead to gas accumulation, posing severe fire, explosion, and thermal burn hazards.
Consumers should not attempt to test the propane themselves. Instead, they should immediately contact the retailer, supplier or Crescent Point Energy hotline to arrange for an inspection. If inspection confirms that the propane contains insufficient odorant, Crescent Point Energy will either promptly arrange for appropriate odorization or provide a replacement portable tank. Consumers should have carbon monoxide alarms in homes or other buildings that utilize gas. If consumers do smell even a faint odor of gas or a gas leak, they should immediately leave the building and call 911 or their gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Do not light a match, turn on a light or switch on anything electrical.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
