What the recall covers
The CPSC recall notice dated October 8 identifies Snow Peak Takibi propane inserts and lava rocks, model ST-332-US. The affected accessories let compatible Pack & Carry fireplaces use propane. CPSC says heated lava rocks can ignite or explode. The notice identifies the model number on the packaging and user manual.
CPSC tells owners to stop using the affected insert and rocks and contact Snow Peak for the official refund or replacement-rock remedy. Do not resume using the insert while waiting for replacement rocks. Follow the notice’s return and disposal instructions. The stand-alone Pack & Carry fireplace shown in the CPSC notice is labeled not recalled; this is not a recall of every Snow Peak product.
Snow Peak’s own recall page also asks customers to discontinue use and provides its contact and return route. Use the current official pages for the remedy, not a shopping recommendation or a seller’s promise of a quick fix.
Deal with the affected equipment first
Check the exact model in the notice against your records. If you cannot establish whether your equipment is included, contact Snow Peak through the official recall page before using it. Do not improvise a repair, substitute unidentified rock material or treat an online photo as proof that the problem has been resolved.
Remove the affected equipment from your household’s usable-gear checklist while you work through the recall. Do not sell or give away the recalled accessories as working equipment. A refund or approved remedy and a new gear purchase are separate decisions.
Our recommendation: separate lighting from heat
Resolve the recall first; buying another product does not complete it. When reviewing an outage plan, keep lighting and heating separate. CPSC’s carbon-monoxide guidance explains why combustion equipment and enclosed spaces require particular care. This report does not recommend using an outdoor propane fireplace for indoor emergency heat.
Use our winter power-outage checklist to review the household plan. If the actual gap is lighting, our lantern and headlamp guide includes existing battery-light options such as the Black Diamond Spot 400. A headlamp supplies light, not heat; skip a purchase when you already have working lights and an appropriate battery routine.
