LITE Cylinder Company Composite tanks are considered unsafe! Discontinue using these propane tanks!

The full recall order is available at:

http://go.usa.gov/bbyV

However the Lite Cylinder company has issued the following Statement “Please be advised that The Lite Cylinder Company is no longer in business and is currently evaluating its legal options. The company’s facility is now closed and unable to receive cylinders returned per the instructions detailed in US DOT – PHMSA Emergency Order No. 2013-002. Furthermore, the company is financially insolvent and will not be able to recompense cylinder owners, dealers and distributors for the expenses incurred in complying with this Emergency Recall Order.“

Island Water World is advising all their customers to discontinue using these tanks immediately!

The affected cylinders may be marked with any of the following numbers: M5729, DOT-SP 14562, DOT-SP 13957, DOT-SP 13105 (Only if manufactured by The Lite Cylinder Company. Cylinders manufactured by Composite Scandinavia [M0408] and marked with this number are not subject to the recall).

Island Water World is offering limited assistance as the Lite cylinder company is insolvent.
We will offer to sell customers any new propane tank close to cost which equates to a 35% discount on all aluminum and composite tanks in stock. You are required to bring to one of their locations any empty “Lite Cylinder” tanks and proof of purchase from one of our stores. This offer is subject to propane tank availability in our store locations.

Your sincerly,
Island Water World Management Team
