ANST - [Fwd: [TY] Wal Mart metal tiki torches (repost)]

[Gail P. Taylor]

I looked at this and realized that I've already seen the aftermath of the explosion
of one of these recalled plastic-bottled tikis, at Squires and Cadets.  It had been
burning for about two hours...then the bamboo caught fire.  Their fire extinguisher
failed...and they covered it with a pot, right before the plastic cannister
exploded.  Could have been a real problem, as it was near enough their tent that
burning fuel might have sprayed on it, had the pot not been on it.

Anybody who has plastic tikis should read the informatoin on this site....
