All the litigations were filed between the years 2004 and 2008. We know of no litigation involving propane gas. All breached cylinders known to date contained MAPP gas. As of April 30, 2008 "MAPP" was no longer produced, and Worthington replaced it with "MAP" gas under the Worthington label. It appears the cylinders continue to be designed with deficient joints, though whether or not the added problem of corrosion will exist with the new gas is not known at this time. Worthington disclosed it sold about 21 million units over a two or three year period, apparently between the years 2005 and 2008. Many of the "MAPP" cylinders remain on the market as of the date of this publication.
