From their website..

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE FROM JETBOIL
Dear Jetboil Consumer:

Jetboil is recalling certain Personal and Group Cooking Systems.

Jetboil has utilized three different gas valves (the "A", "B" and "C" style valves) in the production of its Personal Cooking System (PCS) and Group Cooking System (GCS). PCS and GCS units utilizing the B style valve were shipped to US retailers between July 10 and September 9, 2008, and sold through retail since July 10, 2008.

To identify the valve type of your system, please visit the recall page on our website. If you determine that the valve on your system is the silver, rectangular, unmarked B type, please use our online registration form to request a replacement burner. You will receive a pre-paid return envelop to mail your burner back to Jetboil.

Jetboil is undertaking a consumer recall of all PCS and GCS systems utilizing this B style valve, working in cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (www.cpsc.gov).


We have determined independently to undertake this process after receiving reports and returned units from a very limited number of end users who have experienced leaking gas and subsequent ignition of the gas leak. No injuries or property damage have been reported by these users.

PCS and GCS systems utilizing the A and C style valves continue to be fully safe and functional.

If you have a question about valve identification or the exhange process, please call 888-611-9905 or email customerservice@jetboil.com.

Sincerely,

Perry Dowst
President & CEO
Jetboil, Incorporated
