Pittsburgh Terminals Corp. also announces 16 Kerosene Recall Collection
Centers
HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Pittsburgh Terminals Corporation
is urging the public to help notify members of the Amish community that the
company has issued a recall of kerosene that may be contaminated with
gasoline, creating a risk of fire or explosion. The company is making a
special appeal on behalf of the Amish because they often use kerosene in
stoves and lamps but, due to limited access to the media, may not be aware of
the well-published news reports regarding the kerosene recall announced
earlier today by the company.
"We are asking for anyone who has contacts or expertise in the Amish
community to help us reach out to families who may have contaminated kerosene
in their homes," said John Arnold, company spokesman. "Earlier tonight I
spoke with Robert French, Director of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management
Agency, who offered to enlist all of the Emergency Management Agencies in the
affected counties to help in our notification efforts."
Anyone with information that may be helpful to the company's efforts to
reach out to the Amish or who would like more information about this important
recall is urged to call 717-939-0466, 1-800-692-6016, or email
kerosenerecall@ppcterminals.com.
Since the company first learned of the possible contamination on
Wednesday, Pittsburgh Terminals Corp. has contacted all 37 of its kerosene
distributors, conducted extensive sampling of its products, notified other
suppliers in the affected area, set up 16 collection centers, held two press
conferences and prepared warning notices for widespread public distribution.
The company stresses that anyone who purchased kerosene from a retailer in
western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia or southwestern New
York between May 1, 2008, and August 19, 2008, should not use the kerosene.
Instead, the company is urging customers to immediately return the potentially
contaminated kerosene to one of the Kerosene Recall Collection Centers listed
below. Customers will be fully reimbursed for the kerosene and the returned
container upon completion of a simple form.
The process for collection is very simple:
1. Take your container of potentially contaminated kerosene to a
collection center during open business hours and leave it with an attendant.
2. Fill out a simple form which will enable Pittsburgh Terminals Corp. to
reimburse you for the kerosene and your container.
3. If you need directions, visit the company's website at
www.ppcterminals.com for MapQuest directional links to each collection point.
