Danger from reusable mini gas cylinders

Mini gas cylinders are familiar items in daily life. However, reusing and buying poor quality gas cylinders can cause unfortunate accidents, affecting people's lives and property.

Rusty gas cylinders are often painted silver to renew their appearance, posing many potential dangers to users.

Most mini gas cylinders on the market are refilled many times. Rusty gas cylinders are painted silver and refurbished, so they pose many potential dangers. Reusable mini gas cylinders are often used in popular restaurants.

Ms. Le Thi Tien (Ward 3, Tan An City , Long An Province) shared: "I once went to eat hot pot with friends, and suddenly heard a farting sound from a mini gas tank right next to my table. The restaurant staff quickly turned off the stove but the gas smell was still strong. After that time, I was very worried when eating at restaurants that use mini gas tanks, especially old gas tanks."

Not only in restaurants, reusable mini gas cylinders are often used by workers, laborers, and students renting rooms. Mr. Le Van Tung (a worker renting a room in Loi Binh Nhon commune, Tan An city) said: "In my boarding house, everyone who uses a mini gas stove changes the gas cylinder at a nearby grocery store. I don't know how many times the gas cylinder has been refilled, as long as it is still usable, it is reused. A few months ago, I switched to cooking with an electric stove because I was afraid of the risk of fire and explosion from unsafe gas cylinders."

The widespread situation of reused mini gas cylinders needs to be controlled and strictly managed in pumping and decanting gas, thereby promptly handling violations when they are detected.

Consumers also need to raise awareness and avoid using gas cylinders of unknown origin or those with unusual signs such as loose valves, rust, or gas odor even when the stove is not turned on to ensure safety for themselves and those around them./.
