Reason for Recall
The two-piece brass control valve can separate between the flame weeder and the propane tank, and allow propane to leak from the tank. This poses fire and burn hazards to consumers.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using the flame weeders and return them to the store where purchased or call Gardener's Supply Co. for a full refund, including any shipping costs. Gardener's Supply Co. is directly contacting consumers who purchased the recalled flame weeders.
