Franklin Fueling Systems is recalling approximately 9,000 gas station hose and swivel fitting sets because the metal swivel fitting can separate from the hose. If this happens, fuel can leak, creating a serious risk of fire and explosion. There have been three reports of fittings separating and causing fuel spills, though no injuries have been reported. These sets include ¾-inch or 1-inch FLEX-ING brand FLEX-ON hoses in various colors and styles, sold nationwide between April and October 2015 for use at gas stations.
The metal swivel fitting can detach from the hose while in use, allowing fuel to leak or spray. This uncontrolled release of gasoline or other fuels near active fueling stations poses a high risk of ignition, fire, and explosion.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hose/swivel fitting sets and contact the firm to receive a full refund or a replacement hose/swivel fitting set.
