CPSC, Cenex Harvest States Cooperatives Announce Recall to Inspect Propane Gas
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Cenex Harvest States Cooperatives (CHS) of Inver
Grove Heights, Minn., is voluntarily coordinating the testing of propane
gas delivered to dealers in five states. The propane may not have
contained enough odorant to allow consumers to smell leaking gas,
presenting a fire, explosion or thermal burn hazard to consumers.
CHS learned of two explosions involving propane gas in Montana that
resulted in four injuries. CHS is coordinating the testing of propane
gas distributed to the following dealers to ensure that the propane
produced at the CHS Refinery in Laurel, Montana contained adequate
quantities of odorant.
Idaho
Bingham Co-op, Blackfoot
CHS Propane Plant, Challis
Farmers Supply Cooperative, Council
CHS Propane Plant, Jerome
Montana
Farmers Union Oil, Baker
Rocky Mountain Supply, Belgrade
Farmers Union Oil, Chinook
Columbus Propane, Columbus
Mountain View Co-op, Dutton
Farmers Union Oil, Great Falls
Farmers Union Association, Hardin
CHS Country Operations, Havre
CHS Country Operations, Kalispsell
Town and Country Co-op, Laurel
Central Montana Propane, Lewistown
Farmers Union Oil, Lodge Grass
CHS Country Operations, Miles City
CHS Country Operations, Missoula
Farmers Union Oil, Worden
Oregon
CHS Propane Plant, John Day
Washington
Skagit Farmers Supply, Mt. Vernon
Wyoming
Johnson County Co-op, Buffalo
Farmers Cooperative, Gillette
CHS Propane Plant, Gillette
Farmers Co-op Oil, Sheridan
Big Horn Co-op Association, Worland
Consumers who had propane deliveries or purchased propane from these
dealers since June 1, 2000, should immediately contact their propane gas
suppliers or retail locations where portable cylinders were filled to
arrange for testing of the propane. The amount of odorant in the propane
can be corrected on-site if the levels are found to be too low to detect
by smell. Consumers with questions should call Country Energy, LLC, an
affiliate of CHS, 24 hours per day at (800) 635-3998.
CHS is now working with CPSC to supplement CHS's announcement of this
testing made earlier this month, to help further disseminate this
information to consumers who may have purchased this product.
