suggests that if the cylinder is marked with a period (.) rather than 
the official IIA mark, the cylinder did not undergo the complete series 
of safety tests and inspections required by the Hazardous Materials 
Regulations (HMR) and may not possess the structural integrity to 
safely contain its contents under pressure during normal transportation 
and use. Extensive property damage, serious personal injury, or death 
could result from a rupture of the cylinder. Individuals who identify a 
cylinder marked with only a period (.) between the month and year are 
advised to remove these cylinders from service and contact PHMSA 
directly at the below address for further instructions.
