The model number, serial number, and date code are stamped on the collar of the cylinder.

Consumers should stop using the recalled EVAS 20-lb. propane cylinders immediately, close the top valve completely and return them to any AmeriGas Propane Exchange retail location for a free replacement. Consumers can find exchange retail locations at https://www.amerigas.com/locations/find-propane. Worthington advises consumers to close the valve on top of the cylinder completely when returning them.
