No one hurt Made May 4, 2016, sent to the company May 11, 2016, published by CPSC May 25, 2016
The product, in the report: BBQ Kitchen cover top made out of Alumawood by Amerimax sold by Tropicana Outdoor living Company business location is 949 N Cataract Ave, San Dimas, CA 91773; Phone: (909) 538·1414/(909)599-4211/(888) 849-1195
I bought an outdoor BBQ kitchen from Tropicana Outdoor Living Company and had it installed by their installers. The kitchen top came off its footing with the winds we had two months ago. Luckily I was home to tight it down during the rain storm to prevent it from flying off to my neighbors’ yard and possibly causing property damage and/or Injury to personnel. Enclosed are pictures of the top and screws used to attach the footing. I’m no engineer, but the size of the top overhang and footing are bad designs. This product should have never been on the market as designed; I was expecting a stronger footing design. Use of a metal plate with bolts would make a big different in the strength of the footing with a smaller top overhang. Notified the company of the Incident, talked to a person named [REDACTED], he stated that the design was safe and that the company’s Installation team simply did not installed It correctly, maybe due to the installation team fatigue. I check with Amerimax engineering for specifications on size of overhang for the amount of spacing between posts for the patio top Installed by Tropicana Outdoor living installers and it specifies it should be no longer than 25% of post spacing (2 feet). Top installed has an overhang of over six feet, way beyond specs provided by Amerimax engineering and presents an extreme safety Issue and should no longer be on the market. Enclosed are Amerlmax engineering specifications. In addition, this company sale their products at home shows throughout Southern California. Yes, I would like to get reimbursed for the faulty product I bought from Tropicana Outdoor living Company, but most important is the unsafe condition that could exist out in the public in Southern California due to design of this product and faulty installation.
