13 Dec 2021

  • Damages claimable if proven death, bodily injury, or damage caused by Litro cylinders
State-owned Litro Gas Lanka Ltd. has introduced an insurance scheme for customers who purchase Litro Gas cylinders, covering up to Rs. 1 million in damages, a senior official at Litro told The Morning yesterday (13). The beneficiaries will be able to claim damages if it is proven that the death, bodily injury, or damage was caused as a result of using Litro Gas cylinders or caused by cylinder explosions and accessories or directly related to a manufacturing defect in the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder. Over the past one-and-a-half months, a series of gas cylinder-based explosions have been reported at both industrial commercial establishments as well as at the domestic household level from all around the country. The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has said that it will consider legal action against the LPG companies, Litro and privately-owned Laugfs Gas PLC, if wrongdoing on the part of any official or company is revealed. Furthermore, the CAA said that it has instructed Litro Gas and Laugfs Gas to recall all sealed and unused gas cylinders currently in the gas distribution outlets that were distributed before 4 December.
