The Coleman Co. has recalled about 95 of its Northstar Liquid Fuel Lanterns because an incorrect gas feed tube was installed on the lantern.
The firm has received two reports of lanterns catching fire when fuel unexpectedly leaked from the bottom of the unit. While no injuries have been reported, Coleman has advised consumers to immediately stop using the lanterns and contact the company for a replacement lantern because the tube can release too much fuel when the lantern is lit and pose fire and burn hazards.
This recall involves Northstar liquid fuel lanterns with model number 2000B750 and date codes 10 13 or 11 13. The model number is printed on the base of the lantern, under the lighting instructions. The date code is stamped on the underside of the lantern. A Coleman logo sticker is affixed to the front of the lantern base. The green lanterns measure about 13” tall by 7” wide by 7” deep.
The lanterns, which were manufacturing in the USA by The Coleman Co., were sold at sporting goods stores nationwide and online at coleman.com from November 2013 through February 2014 for about $125
