Worthington Enterprises have recalled EVAS 20 lb. propane exchange cylinders due to a risk of fire.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recalled propane exchange cylinders could leak gas, posing a fire hazard. However, no incidents or accidents have been reported.

The recall involves EVAS 20 lb. propane exchange cylinders with model number EVAS – M0859, a serial number beginning with a “W,” and a date code of either “06-23” or “07-23.”

While the cylinders were initially sold with an AmeriGas label, consumers could have exchanged these cylinders with other propane distributors who would have then placed their own branded sleeve/label on them.

The company has asked customers to stop using the recalled EVAS 20 lb. propane cylinders immediately, close the top valve completely and return them to any AmeriGas Propane Exchange retail location for a free replacement. If the top valve is closed, there is no fire hazard.

The recalled cylinders were sold at AmeriGas’ propane cylinder exchange suppliers in New Hampshire and Eastern Massachusetts (Boston Metropolitan) area from July 2023 through August 2023, or from a propane cylinder exchange supplier thereafter, for between $20 and $80.

In a statement responding to the news, Worthington Enterprises said, “Of the 146,000 tanks listed in the CPSC news release, 490 tanks were sold in AmeriGas cages in New Hampshire and Eastern Massachusetts (Boston Metropolitan) area between July 27, 2023 and August 1, 2023. Currently, 399 remain in the market. The additional 145,510 are in quarantine.”
