An Illinois-based gas distributor is warning officials in 12 states that some propane deliveries may have lacked enough of an odorant needed to alert homeowners of possible leaks.
Aux Sable Liquid Products said in a letter to public safety officials obtained by The Associated Press that the odorant is typically added at Morris, Ill., facility, but some shipments may lacked sufficient odorant. A company spokesman confirmed the letter Thursday.
The company said the propane could have been shipped to more than a dozen states including Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia and Vermont.
The company said it's ceased shipments from the facility while it investigates.
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley last week announced an investigation into the delivery of faulty propane, following a fatal construction accident in July.
