Serious safety hazard

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! MAJOR FIRE HAZARD! I bought this kitchen burner a few months ago and have used it a few times. Today I took it out of my closet to use again and found it empty, although it was completely detached (and the safety catch had clicked). I refilled the flashlight and heard a faint hiss. I pressed the lighter and the flashlight lit up, but it didn't go out despite repeated attempts to turn off the gas (see video). I had to submerge the lighter in water to avoid overheating and to extinguish the flame. The gas kept coming out (despite the handle being fully closed) and I had to leave the burner out to safely vent the remaining fuel. The burner was full when I stored it earlier, so the butane must have leaked into the cupboard. I was very lucky that it didn't catch fire during storage.

Pros
  • Easy to read display, adjustable flame and easy gas refill. This kitchen burner is equipped with a level indicator (butane gas not included) that makes it easy to see the current gas level in the burner, as well as a gas flow shut-off when it is off. Create continuous flames up to 6 inches long and set temperatures up to 1300Β°C with ease. Quickly fill this blowtorch with any brand of butane gas with the universal long refill tip.
Cons
  • Something is wrong
