May 5, 2005 - Cimberio S.p.A. and Dormont Manufacturing Company Recall of Certain Cimberio Gas Valves
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Dormont Manufacturing Company, of Export, Pa. and Cimberio S.p.A., of Via Torchio, Italy are voluntarily recalling about 20,000 (in inventory) Cimberio Gas Ball Valves. When one of these valves is closed, it could open up slightly. If the gas supply is on, gas will leak from the inlet port through the ball/seat and travel through the outlet port. If the valve is not connected to an appliance, and is not capped or plugged as required by the National Fuel Gas Code Section 6.7.2.1, leaking gas will escape into the air. However, subsequent testing confirms that this potential for a gas leak is eliminated as gas flows through the valve. As a result, there is no risk with installed valves.

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), SCG Miyairi (Thailand) Company, LTD, of Thailand, is voluntarily recalling about 21,000 SCG Liquid Propane Overfill Protection Devices (OPD valves). When the cylinder on the gas grill is filled to capacity and exposed to increased temperatures, liquid propane instead of gas vapor can leak out and cause the gas regulator valve to freeze. When the regulator valve thaws, if it has not been turned off, gas will flow to the grill. The resulting build-up of gas in the grill can pose a serious fire hazard to consumers.
