I purchased a forge kit from TEAPILE (mystery company in China) through Temu a few months ago and didn't start using it till recently. I found out that all the propane valves leak and all the "brass" fittings are actually colored steel. This thing is a bomb. The Temu bot won't entertain a return of any sort since it is past 90 days from purchase and I can find no way to contact either company directly. So, on top of Temu's various fraudulent business practices, this also a major safety concern.

The consumer purchased butane fuel refill containers which are used to refill butane lighters. The consumer purchased 2 containers of the butane fuel and the consumer has filed a similar report. On 9/10/15 the consumer used the product to refill his lighter and later in the day he began to have chest pains. The next day (9/11/15) the consumer states his chest pains were worse and he had difficulty moving and breathing. The consumer believes his chest pains are from exposure to the butane fuel. The consumer plans to visit a physician. On 9/14/15 the consumer contacted the vendor and expressed his safety concerns with the product. The consumer spoke with [REDACTED], the owner of the store. The consumer states [REDACTED] became upset and told the consumer that there is nothing wrong with the product. The consumer then contacted the Poison Control (800-222-1222) and was advised to go to the hospital. The consumer states he has been purchasing butane gas for years but this is the first time he purchased this particular product. The consumer believes this product poses a health hazard and should be recalled. The consumer used about 1/4 of the product. Did I See A Doctor, because of the reported exposure: On 9/14/2015 after submitting the Butane exposure incident report to CPSC, I went directly to the Miami VA Hospital's emergency room in Miami, Florida, arriving at around 1:30 PM. I was triaged and at 6:40 PM that day, admitted as an inpatient to the hospital. While in the hospital, I was subjected to a battery of tests including cardio (also stress test), pulmonary and other tests to eliminate them as being the cause of the chest pains I experienced from the Butane exposure I reported. All tests were normal or within normal and excepted ranges for my age and other factors. The final analysis was, after nearly two days of around the clock testing and monitoring, that the cause of my chest pains, was likely as I initially reported, Butane Fuel

In May of 2013 I purchased a “new” Blue Rhino brand propane tank at Wal-Mart to replace an empty one. I connected it to my grill the same day. On June 5th at approximately 5pm I went out to cook dinner. It was my first use of the replacement tank. As I uncovered the grill I heard a very faint sound which at first I thought was my imagination. I could not place what the sound was or where it was coming from. As I was about to light the grill I thought it might be good to check the tank. Had I pushed the ignition button I would not be writing this letter. I opened the grill tank door and a rush of gas flooded out, the smell was very strong. I immediately turned off the valve but that did not stop the leak. I disconnected the tank and pulled it out but the sound / leak continued. At this point I was frightened thinking that a complete wall rupture could kill me. But I was also worried for my home so I as quickly and gently as I could I carried the tank to the back of our property behind a tree in the shade. At this point I decided to document the situation I got out my video camera and went back outside where I videoed the grill and explained what had just happened. I then walked back to the tank which was still very actively leaking. I then filled a bucket with soapy water to look for the leak. First I poured water over the valve but found nothing then tried the side of the tank. I turned the tank over until I found the leak under a loose Blue Rhino label. In order to document it I cut out a small square of the label to expose a clear hole in the side of the tank in an area of rust. I poured the soapy water over the hole which created a geyser and blew bubbles, I videoed all of this. Several minutes later my brother came home and I showed him the tank and videoed his comments and reaction. He said that the standard practice of pressure testing was not followed when the tank was filled. But imagine my surprise when I decided to finally touch the leak hole I

His daughter’s propane tank did not match up with the regulator for a recently purchased grill. The grill was purchased approx. 7/20/25. The consumer owns (rents) 3 propane tanks. He carried one of his tanks to his daughter’s home and tried it, but it also would not work the new grill. He went back home and disconnected another tank that he recently used and knew was working. When he took that tank to his daughter’s home and connected it to the grill, it worked fine. The consumer called the dealer, and they exchanged the non-working tank for his daughter. The consumer called the manufacturer to discuss his concerns. First, their, rep. (name unknown) told him that the tanks were only warranted for 1 year. Next, the rep. told him that they inspect all their tanks. The consumer said that did not sound true, because 2 of the 3 tanks he tried, did not work. That is more than a 60% failure rate, and they need to examine this matter urgently. The exact problem is that the valve on the tank that is turned on and off, did not seal securely with 2 of the propane tanks he tried. The consumer has had one of his tanks for 3 – 4 years and indicated that the regulator and seals for these tanks should work properly, every time they are used, regardless of how old they are.

We had our propane tank filed by AmeriGas on August 3, 2012. I had been hearing a hissing sound but it was dismissed as the air conditioning unit as we did not smell propane. On September 10, 2012, my gas water heater caught on fire on the gas pipe that leads to the water heater. Only during the fire did any smell occur. For the last week, I have been experiencing headaches, stomach aches and tiredness as well as my 2 grandchildren who live we us. My husband checked out gage on the propane tank and we had approximate 20% gas lost from the leak. AmeriGas is taking the position that their gas has an odor to it, however the remaining gas is in the tank and it does not have an odor. If an odor was present, we would not have been sicken nor would my home also had burn down, luckily I was home and was able to shut the gas off and put the fire out.

I bought a cooking purpose torch and a propane gas cylinder for cooking. The torch and gas cylinder worked very well. BUT 2023. May.24 When I disconnected the torch from the cylinder for storage, the liquid gas leaked aggressively. So I connected and tightened the torch again to prevent an explosion from gas exposure. (It could be serious because I live in an apartment community. ) During re-connecting them, my fingers were exposed that the freezing gas for a few seconds and I got a severe frostbite. I went to a urgent care after frist-aid But 4~5 days later the wounds developed into blood blister and dusky. The urgent care transferred me to the ER and I got surgery May 30 The hand surgeon expected and explained an inch amputation of the middle finger but Really luckily I could save my finger... healing well but It will take 6 months to grow the fingernail back... As you can see this [REDACTED], This same product gas cylinder MUST not be leaking when untightening or disconnecting [REDACTED] I purchased the torch at [REDACTED] in Feb.(I have [REDACTED] purchasing history and a receipt)[REDACTED] I bought the propane cylinder at Walmart in Feb~Mar(I have a receipt) Medical expenses My company offers really good insurance so it is covered well. Anyway, before discounts, the medical bill is over $30,000. Honestly, as an engineer and inventor, I really do understand no product is perfect. Regardless of this, I'd like to claim that's why the product liability and insurance exist.

I work for a propane company. I have replaced many Rego LV3403tr propane regulators. They are leaking propane out the vent and also around the seam . Rego will replace the regulator if it still under warranty , but that doesn't address the issue of thousand of these needing replaced.

4 foot adapter hose from portable 5 gal propane tank to outdoor BBQ developed a leak at the end that was attached to the tank. No leak noted when it was hooked up but if the hose was touched high pressure propane would leak from the fitting. Removing the hose from the tank and cleaning all the fittings several times did not change the leak. No injuries or damage as I was checking for leaks after changing tank and noted the leak if the hose was touched. Leak was around the metal tubing running from the tank adapter into the hose. his hose has been in service for less than two years and shows no obvious damage. Hose in question was manufactured by Chen Fong Ent. LTD. Model GHA1 Lot #031647.
