Portable Gas Cookers recalled

Portable Gas Cookers recalled

Hi All,

I have a couple of this cookers. They work well, and have been using them for years. I have a 10 year old version, and it seems to produce a slightly hotter flame then the almost identical newer versions. But the body of the newer version seems to get fairly warm after 15 minutes of use.

Interesting to see a safety recall on these units now. http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ftw/Consumers/Product_and_service_safety/Lunchbox_cookers.page.
The explosions were due to misuse, but still, 84% of units failed when testing the over-heat shutoff value.


Thanks Trevor for highlighting this information.
