Plain-English summary

The Coleman Company, Inc. is recalling propane hoses installed on Coleman propane Cookin' Machines. The recall involves approximately 30,000 units manufactured between November 1987 and March 1989. The hoses may come loose from the fuel valve connection after repeated use. If the hose loosens while the fuel valve is turned on, fuel may leak and present a risk of personal injury or property damage if ignited.

Coleman has received reports of five hoses coming loose and causing some fire damage. The suggested retail price for the affected models was $76 for the standard model and $82 for the electronic ignition model.

Consumers who purchased a Coleman propane Cookin' Machine after November 1987 should discontinue using the product and call Coleman's toll-free hotline at 1-800-835-3278 for instructions. The company has redesigned the hose to correct the problem and will provide a replacement hose at no charge. The hotline is open between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
