I purchased a Propane Torch sku 91037 on 12/16/2014 at the Carson City, NV Harbor Freight store 00310 Ticket# [REDACTED]. Last week I noticed the smell of propane in our garage and discovered the hose to the Propane torch has delaminated and stated leaking. (see attached pictures).

I was using a Sure Fire T-110 self igniting torch and it caught fire in my hand. A flame shot out of the hole on the handle and the whole thing started on fire. I threw it because i did not know if the tank would explode and it started a secondary fire.

Consumer stated that he was working with torch for about 7 minutes when consumer tried to turn off the torch the torch bottom did not work (reason why unknown) the flames was high leading consumer burning his right hand. Consumer was able to put off the flames by through the torch into the pod of water. Consumer feels that the micro torch could poses a fire hazard.

I was using my Ronson Tech torch auto start like I do almost daily, and I thought it was off cuz it always shuts off like it's supposed to and it wasn't and it burned my arm really bad this has been about a week since this happened I still got a really good burnt burn on me it's going to be a pretty nasty scar

My wife was using a greenwoodpropane torch with push button igniter attached to a 5 gal propane tank. When she pulled the trigger the valve was blown out of the handle. This allowed propane to escape which was ignited. Her coat caught fire and her hair was singed. It appears the part which holds the valve in place is missing half the threads. I have attached a photo which shows the faulty valve with 1 thread. Compared to a similar tool which has 3 threads.

The hose blew off while the torch was in use. I had a flash from the hose blowing past the burning torch end. I was very lucky the hose was almost empty and the propane tank internal safety valve closed the output gas. I wet back to Harbor Freight with receipt and told them about the problem. It had been 39 days since I purchased the torch and past the 30 day limit for returns or refunds. The manager said there was nothing he could do about it having been so long even though it was the first time I used the torch. It had been in use about 15 minutes when it failed. I think I have thrown it out but may still have it in the barn. I have limited my purchases from Harbor Freight to only items that can not cause a hazardous condition, like sand paper.

I was using my Ronson Tech Torch to solder some wires. The flame didn't go out and it caught my shop bench on fire and the torch exploded. I see that there is a recall on this item. But the tube that is required to be mailed in was blown off with the explosion. The wire is still intact. These torches are pretty expensive and i feel that I should still get my refund for the recall of this item. Thank you very much. ]REDACTED]

While I was sweating a plumbing pipe, the oxygen hose split. Had I been inside instead of outside the split would have allowed the escaping gas to possibly explode since the split occurred at the lit end of the torch. This torch has only been in use for about 6 months as a hobby torch. I got it for Christmas last year. It is not used daily and still looks brand new. I took the torch hose to the Harbor Freight in Erie, PA. I spoke with [REDACTED] first. She called the manager, [REDACTED]. He refused to give me his last name. I showed him the split in the hose. He asked if I had the receipt. I told him I did not, however, since this is a safety issue he needed to look at the hose. He said it was not a safety issue and if I didn't have the receipt there was nothing he would do. His attitude was that I was wasting his time and he didn't care, then he walked away from me.
