Walmart recalls 201,000 camping stoves after explosions cause burns

Hundreds of thousands of outdoor camping stoves sold at Walmart have been recalled after several units exploded, causing second-degree burns.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warned in a notice published last week that the Ozark Trail Tabletop 1-Burner Butane Camping Stoves can explode or catch fire, posing a burn and fire hazard to consumers. About 201,000 products are included in the recall.

Prior to the recall, the manufacturer, China Window Industry Co. Ltd., 26 reports of camping stoves exploding or catching fire, including 16 reports of injuries including second-degree burns.

Consumers are asked to “immediately” stop using the stoves and return the product to any Walmart retail store for a full refund, according to the recall.

On the same day the stove recall was issued, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) also issued a recall of 24,300 children and youth outdoor helmets.
