WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the voluntary recall of Eddie Bauer propane camping lanterns because of the risk of carbon monoxide gas.
The 12,300 recalled lanterns, manufactured in China, can produce high levels of carbon monoxide, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to consumers if the lantern is used indoors.
No injuries have been reported to date. The recall is precautionary.
The Eddie Bauer lantern, sold exclusively at Target stores, is ocean blue with two mantles. It has a glass globe, electronic ignition, and an extra-large hood and handle. When assembled, the lantern sits on a plastic base that houses the propane fuel cylinder.
The "Eddie Bauer" name appears on the front of the product on an oval panel immediately below a black on/off switch. The Wenzel Company of St. Louis, Mo., produced the lantern under license for Eddie Bauer
