Katadyn North America Optimus Gemini Portable Gas Stove Recall Class Action Lawsuit
On October 6, 2022, Katadyn North America issued a recall for their Optimus Gemini Portable Gas Stove, specifically their portable 2-burner stoves. According to the recall, recall number 23-004, the recalled stove’s gas regulator can potentially have a tear in the seal, which could result in a gas leak. This poses a fire risk. The recall affects approximately 1,100 products.
The portable stoves are black metal with silver top burner surfaces. They measure about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. They have “Optimus” printed on the side. These portable stoves can be used with isobutane-propane fuel. The affected products have serial numbers in the following ranges: RG000001 through RG006788 and RG023004 through RG023323.
The recalled portable gas stoves were sold from January 2021 to September 2022 for approximately $178 each. They were sold at specialty outdoor and sporting goods stores around the country and online at multiple websites.
So far, no incidents or injuries have been reported. The company is urging consumers affected by the recall to stop using the product and either return it to the store from which they purchased it or directly to them to receive a full refund. Although this definitely may seem the right thing to do, it is essential that that affected parties do not return the product and accept a refund. Instead, consumers who were harmed by the defective product should seek legal assistance as soon as possible – as they could have grounds to file a product liability recall lawsuit.
