Make that:

Or just Be Careful Using Them till they are empty, just like you
should be doing everyday.

Don't EVER take the bottle off while the torch is still lit, or around
another ignition source. And then you put a drop of spit on the end
of your finger and dab it over the hole of the cylinder valve, and
make sure it isn't leaking before you walk away - if it blows a bubble
you need to get it to seat.

If it leaks but can't ignite anything, it can't hurt anything.

With a recall like that, going through the hassle of returning the
cylinders is only necessary for Employers like Tawm. When the odds
are that employees are going to deliberately use the product as
improperly as possible and see if they can make it go BOOM. (Because
they are looking for a big tort payout when they get hurt.)
