I'm posting this with a bit of embarrassment, but here goes.
I recently purchased a cornelius keg co2 charger. (I ran out of co2 and had a meeting to go to and couldn't get my bottle filled in time.)
Please read and heed the directions completely. I assembled the unit with co2 cyl and then tried to install on my keg and in the proccess I also triggered the cyl. As I was trying to install the keg fitting on my keg the ball lock fitting exploded and the insides of the unit struck me in the throat.
The impact was so hard it almost knocked me down and the pain was incredible. I now have a swollen neck and a very tender spot just below my adams apple.
I can only imagine what the outcome would have been if it had of struck me in the eye.
HAD I FOLLOWED instructions to the T, I wouldn't have had this happen.
The produce warning is not as good as it could have been.
I have notifide the distributor.
