Bharat Petroleum [BPCL] — expired gas cylinder delivery

Address:	Thane, Maharashtra, 421203

My mother, who lives in palava city, had booked a cylinder couple of days back and today she received an expired cylinder marked a18 (Which is already expired) after my mother complained about it, the delivery boy brought her another cylinder marked b18 (Which is likely to expire before her current cylinder gets over).

She returned that and spoke to a representative over phone, and when asked how bharat petroleum can endanger people's lives by delivering expired gas cylinders, he callously replied that if she doesn't take it, some one else will and besides there were no accidents on record.

This makes me wonder, is bharat petroleum waiting for some accidents to occur till they take some concrete steps to resolve this issue or do profits and inventory depletion matter more before the lives of people.
