It appears that someone screwed the pooch on this one. That is just my opinion, I could be wrong.
This report was just on Channel 19 in Cincinnati. If you want to read it yourself go to Fox19 and look for the link called "kerosene recall", or just Click Here". Considering the lack of specifics on this report, I doubt anyone is taking this recall in a serious manner.
Marathon Ashland Petroleum is urging customers who may have bought contaminated kerosene to exchange the product at the store where it was bought. The kerosene may have been tainted with gasoline and is being recalled. It was sold at Warsaw General Store in Warsaw, Kentucky. Stores in the Ohio cities of Mount Orab, Oxford, Sardinia, Amelia, Dayton and West Milton and another in Aurora, Indiana, also sold the kerosene. The company first announced the recall on Monday. Marathon Ashland says anyone who bought kerosene that smells like gasoline should not use it, and anyone using kerosene that burns in an unusual way should stop using it. The company says kerosene mixed with gasoline could result in a fire or explosion in kerosene heaters.
The not so funny part to this is, I didn't see it on any other local news. That does not mean it was not on, it was just not on when I was flipping back and forth throgh the big news items of the day. But, wouldn't you think this was a rather large item, considering the circumstances? I.E., This comes when the temperature is supposed to be in the single digits and everyone who has a kerosene heater will probably get it out and light it up.
