What is this? This is a 40-liter air compressor tank sold in parts for you to put together yourself. It is meant to hold high-pressure air.

What's happening? The tank and its safety parts do not meet safety rules. The safety valve is wrong, the welds are weak, and important labels are missing. The parts come unassembled with no clear instructions.

Does this affect me? If you own or plan to buy this tank, it could burst and hurt you or others nearby.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel hurt. Contact the seller for a refund or safe replacement.
