Plain-English summary

Marshall Gas Controls, a division of S.H Leggitt Company, is recalling approximately 25,000 Marshall model 250 Automatic Changeover liquid propane LP gas regulators. The recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and Transport Canada on July 25, 1995.

The recalled regulators may leak propane gas, which is highly flammable and could ignite, creating a risk of fire and fire-related burns. The model 250 is an automatic changeover regulator used to regulate liquid petroleum gas pressure in conjunction with two LP-gas cylinders. These units were used in certain residential, marine, and recreational vehicle applications, including travel trailers, campers, and fifth-wheel units.

Marshall manufactured the regulators from January 1994 to July 1994 and distributed them through recreational vehicle manufacturers, parts distributors, and retail liquid petroleum gas suppliers. Consumers who own regulators with date codes "4 94" through "30 94" in two small, raised circles on the back of the unit should discard or destroy the product. The manufacturer is no longer in business, and a remedy is no longer available. Consumers should not attempt to disconnect the regulator.
