Safety Information Notice (SIN) Portable Gas Stoves Safety hazards from portable gas stove products (known as “lunchbox cookers”) have arisen due to non-compliance with AS 2658-2008 (LP Gas – Portable and mobile appliances), which has resulted in their withdrawal from sale in all states by government regulators. Notice: The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has issued recall notices and published a list of banned products1 from sale. Consumers are urged to stop using the portable butane cookers immediately, and either return the non-compliant products in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law or seek to dispose of them in an appropriate manner. Boat owners are advised to check the ACCC website for further information.
