No one hurt Made Mar 19, 2025, sent to the company Jun 9, 2025, published by CPSC Apr 7, 2025
The product, in the report: Coleman brand one (1) pound / 16 ounce single use (disposable) liquid petroleum gas (propane) canisters, approximately 10 inches tall by 4 inches in diameter, dark green painted steel construction.
On March 11, 2025 I purchased a three pack of Coleman brand single use (disposable) 1 pound propane canisters. On March 13, 2025 I noticed a strong odor of propane gas emanating from within my detached residential garage. On closer inspection I found one of the aforementioned Coleman propane bottles was the source of the odor, its highly flammable pressurized contents had inexplicably leaked out and the bottle was nearly empty. I examined the canister and found no recognizable damage or defect. Prior to purchase the canister had been shelf stored for sale within an indoor climate controlled retail store environment. After purchase the canister was stored two days within an outdoor non-climate controlled residential detached garage and experienced normal variation in temperature and atmospheric pressure. While in my possession the canister in question was not subjected to any degree of stress or damage whatsoever. Upon discovering the defect I returned the item to the retailer from whom it was purchased and was issued a full refund. I explained to the retailer my concern for public safety in light of the dangerous defect and received a dismissive response. I have contacted the corporate headquarters of the retailer to more formally express my product safety concerns had have received no response.

The product, in the report: Coleman Propane Bottle
The Coleman Propane Bottles have a plastic base attached to the bottom of the bottles by a small amount of glue. When the bottle is attached to a Coleman Lantern and inserted into the stand, which is poorly designed, the plastic base has come loose, and the lantern will fall over. This has happened twice, once with the lantern lit. It almost caused a fire. This is a serious hazard and Coleman needs to address this issue.
