I don't think this has been mentioned on here yet, so I thought I should post a link to the Jetboil recall page.

"In some units sold since June 2008, tight screw threads in the valve can allow gas to leak and possibly ignite."

PCS and GCS units utilizing the B style valve were shipped to US retailers between July 10 and September 9, 2008, and sold through retail since July 10, 2008.

We have determined independently to undertake this process after receiving reports and returned units from a very limited number of end users who have experienced leaking gas and subsequent ignition of the gas leak. No injuries or property damage have been reported by these users.

PCS and GCS systems utilizing the A and C style valves continue to be fully safe and functional. No Helios systems are affected by the recall.


On the bottom of the page there is a form you can fill out to exchange your stove for a new one for free, postage included!!

Also, a note on Jetboils-

I never leave the stove top screwed on to the fuel canisters - can also cause gas to leak.
