Reported risk: The recalled flame weeders are used to burn weeds. The weeders have a long silver colored metal tube with a blue plastic handle, which is attached by a two-piece brass valve to a 1-lb. propane tank. Hazards: The two-piece brass control valve can separate between the flame weeder and the propane tank, and allow propane to leak from the tank. This poses fire and burn hazards to consumers.
