Errors in television tele-vision and newspaper stories about the program and distorted the company's message and created unnecessary concern among natural natu-ral gas customers about their safety. "We prepared a very detailed campaign to inform our customers about important changes that have been occurring over the last three years in the composition of the gas entering our system," said Nick Rose, Questar Gas president and CEO.' "Unfortunately,some very careless reporting and die failure on the part of some reporters to adequately ad-equately check facts have created a climate of fear." The company is taking steps to reassure customers that the gas in their homes is perfectly safe for use in all appliances. It's also reminding remind-ing customers that there is no current cur-rent emergency or a need to have their appliances checked immediately. immedi-ately. The company recommends customers have the inspections and necessary adjustments done as part of a routine, periodic seasonal equipment check some time in the next few years. Beginning Sept. 9, Questar Gas used newspaper ads, press releases and bill sniffers to inform customers custom-ers that natural gas entering the company's system from interstate pipelines was changing. The company urged customers to check their furnaces and water heaters for a green sticker that it began making available to appliance manufacturers, installers and dealers deal-ers three years ago. The stickers indicated rhat the equipment was adjusted for proper combustion of current and future supplies. Customers Cus-tomers without stickers were advised to have their equipment inspected and, if necessary, adjusted by a licensed li-censed heating professional. The company assured customers custom-ers that it was currently processing the supplies it received to make them safe to burn in all appliances and would continue to do so for several sev-eral years to give customers time to have their appliances checked. The company also warned customers cus-tomers that after this transition period, pe-riod, improperly adjusted appliances could produce excessive carbon monoxide, mon-oxide, which under some conditions can cause death. The company plans to use similar messages several times over the next few years. On Oct. 6, nearly a month after af-ter the campaign started, the Salt Lake Tribune published an article incorrectly reporting that Questar Gas was delivering a "new form of natural gas... containing higher levels lev-els of carbon dioxide. " An Associated Press story based on the Tribune article was released later that day. The AP story repeated die carbon dioxide error. It cause further fur-ther confusion by incorrectly reporting report-ing that no green sticker meant an appliance ap-pliance "cannot be adjusted to safely bum the new gas." AP never contacted Questar Gas for comment or to verify facts. On Oct 9, after Questar Gas informed its editors about the error, the AP issued a correction about the significance of the sticker. On the same day the original AP story was released, two Salt Lake television stations aired news reports based on the erroneous AP story.
