WHAT HAPPENED
Nihon Gas Co., Ltd., in cooperation with Tiger Corporation, has issued a recall for certain cassette gas canisters (カセットボンベ) sold under the Tiger brand. The recall was announced on February 3, 2017, after it was discovered that a defect in an internal component could cause gas leakage when the canister is attached to a cassette stove. This poses a risk of fire or explosion if the leaking gas ignites.
The affected products were manufactured by Nihon Gas and distributed by Tiger Corporation. The recall notice, registered with the Consumer Affairs Agency of Japan under management number 00000017153, instructs consumers to immediately stop using the canisters. The defect involves a faulty internal part that fails to seal properly, leading to potential gas leaks during normal use. No specific model numbers, lot codes, or JAN codes were provided in the notice, making it essential for consumers to check the product packaging or contact the manufacturer for verification.
Consumers who own these canisters should take the following steps:
- Immediately discontinue use of the product and do not attempt to attach it to any stove or burner.
- Store the canister in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources, flames, or sparks.
- Contact Tiger Corporation or Nihon Gas customer service for instructions on returning the product and obtaining a refund or replacement.
- Visit the Consumer Affairs Agency recall website or the referenced METI and NITE pages for further details and updates.
