No one hurt Made Jun 1, 2017, sent to the company Aug 11, 2017, published by CPSC Aug 25, 2017
The product, in the report: Propane torch with integral igniter. Black plastic housing with inset blue handle and red gas valve and trigger. BernzOmatic written on the blue handle.
My BernzOmatic propane torch started to leak propane through a small hole on the gas valve. The manufacturer claims that this is a safety in the event of an internal seal failure. I purchased this torch approximately 8 years ago and used it less than 10 times and it failed. The manufacturer seems to have no issue with their product failing after minimal use and feels that venting flammable gas in the direction of the operator is a good safety practice. After I discovered the failure I discontinued use and detached the propane cylinder. I have read on-line about others having the same issue. The torch is black plastic with a blue plastic grip and a red gas valve and ignition trigger. The blue handle says BernzOmatic and the number 307 is stamped near the ignition trigger. There are no other markings on the torch and no safety instructions or mention of the safety relief on the gas valve.
