These camping stoves are characterized by their dark green color and feature an orange “Ozark Trail” logo prominently displayed on the front. The model number can be found inside the fuel compartment, as noted in the recall details.
The recall was prompted by reports of injuries, including second-degree burns, with 26 incidents of the stoves either exploding or igniting. The underlying cause of these malfunctions remains unclear.
