my local travis was still selling the dogdy one this week untill i told them about the recall. They had to contact there rothenberger/mapp gas rep to confirm it. Looks like they are trying hard to let all retail outlets know about it NOT!

I was even told that they (travis) would only replace a bottle if i could prove i brought it from them, so if you have a couple of bottles and no proof of purchase then your screwed.

i will not waste a bottle, if they (rothenberger) cant replace all without proof of purchase then i will just carry on using them.

I'm with you, I had my spare in the van for a while and can't remeber where it came from!!!! but apparently its only a problem when you disconnect!! so i'll just leave it on!!
also I've had problems with all types of disposable cylinder over the years with cylinder not resealing!!

Branch near me is expensive with a very limited selection (though it is only a small)

The travis near me stocks loads of stanley, bahco, irwin and loads of its own stuff (4trade, which is all rubbish).
