1. Keyera Energy Recalls to Inspect Propane Gas Due to Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Recall Date: June 5, 2018
Recall Number: 18-172
Recall Summary
Name of Product:
Propane (LP) gas
Hazard:
The recalled propane gas does not contain sufficient levels of odorant to help alert consumers to a gas leak. Failure to detect leaking gas can present fire, explosion and thermal burn hazards.
Remedy: Repair, Replace
Consumers should not attempt to test the propane themselves. Instead, consumers who have propane delivered to storage tanks should immediately contact the retailer, supplier or Keyera Energy to arrange for a free inspection. If the inspection confirms that the propane contains insufficient odorant, Keyera Energy will arrange for additional odorization or a replacement of the under-odorized propane. Consumers should have carbon monoxide alarms in homes or other buildings that utilize propane 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 call their gas supplier. Do not light a match, turn on a light or switch on anything electrical.
Consumer Contact:
Keyera Energy toll-free at 844-879-8419 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, email propane**At_Symbol_Here**keyera.com or online at www.keyera.com and click on ‰??Propane Safety Update‰?? on the Corporate Responsibility page or www.keypropaneupdate.com for more information.
