What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of fire and explosion, which is a high-risk hazard, but the source explicitly states that no incidents or injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Parker Hannifin Corporation is voluntarily recalling approximately 60,000 feet of 1/4-inch gas hoses commonly used in outdoor gas grills. These hoses were also used on tank cars and storage tanks that deliver liquid petroleum gas. The recalled hoses were produced on September 3, 1991, and distributed from early September 1991 through December 1991.

The recall was initiated after Parker Hannifin was notified of a potential hazard by a customer. The hoses may leak gas, which could result in a fire and/or explosion. There have been no reported incidents or injuries associated with the product.

Consumers should discontinue use of products containing the subject hoses and return them to the place of purchase for replacement or credit. Affected hoses can be identified by white ink lettering on the outside surface that reads: "5561 MH8749 UND. LAB. INC. R LIST L.P. GAS HOSE ISSUE No. D-1723 MAX WK.
