MSR pots recall

[Toddy]

Just been sent a link to a recall on MSR pots.....there must be hundreds if not thousands of them in use among us

Voluntary Safety Recall | MSR

MSR Recalls Trail Lite™ & Reactor® Camping Cooking Pots Due to Potential Burn Hazard

Having said that, it reads as though it's not so much a recall as a please get in touch and we'll send you a replacement handle, kind of thing.

That's the kind of recall when they fess up about it rather than get told to by Trading Standards. It's still a snafu.

As a bit of an MSR collector, it's going to be a busy Monday for me.

After 16 years the rapid response recall team has burst into action!

The guy in testing has finally discovered a flaw.

I have there old alpine pots must be 20 years old now bought from Cotswold outdoors new they now look black and a couple of dents but still going strong and still in use

Daft question, but I'm told it's even dumber not to ask.

Has anybody ever had or heard of an MSR pot that the handle fell off?

 

[Jared]

Did wonder if there was a law suit that might have got settled out of court.

Something obviously convinced MSR to issue replacements.

Maybe they're just wanting to make their product as good as it can be for their customers? It's not unknown, albeit increasingly rare.

It's a while ago so I can't recall the exact details, but a company in Canada that I did some testing for ages ago once sent every customer who'd bought a particular product a replacement part. A screw or bolt, iirc. Something very minor anyway. Testing hadn't found a problem; most customers hadn't found a problem. One guy found a teeny issue that could be fixed. So they fixed it and sent out the replacement part free of charge to every single person who'd bought the product.

As it says only a selected few designs but worth checking.

If you look at the affected pots is the same handle type based around the Reactor design.

I sold my Reactor and only have a Windburner now so no work for me. The older Alpine pots are bombproof.

 

[Toddy]

Well, it's Vango's turn now.

Oh dear. Cue nervous companies wondering if it's going to be one of those things that comes in threes...

 

[Jared]

Seems the new MSR handles still haven't shipped.
