    The product, in the report: Gas grill (4 burners and 4 knobs)

    The consumer stated that her gas grill, that is connected to her outdoor gas line, caught fire. The gas line comes out of her basement and her grill is sitting directly next to her home. The grill was on for about 20 minutes to 35 minutes.

    The grill was set to high at the time of the fire. The consumer’s son in law was observing the grill and saw that there were flames coming out of the front door of the grill. The consumer’s son in law tried to power of the grill by shutting off the knobs but that did not work. Her son in law shut off the gas line to the grill, which shut off the flames. The grill shows no signs of structural damage. The consumer home has not been damaged by the product. The consumer did not call the fire department after the incident.

    On August 9th the consumer called the firm and told that the fire was caused by burner blockage of the grill. The consumer felt that none of this was relevant to her issue. Also on August 9th the firm told her that she should send them pictures via email. On the same date, the firm told her that she must take the burners apart which may have resulted in the fire. The firm told her that the burners must be cleaned every two to three times of usage. The consumer looked at the manual and read that this should only be done as a trouble shooting method if the flame wont ignite.

On August 9th the firm closed the case and have offered no further assistance. They firm did not respond to her last email on the 9th. The consumer has yet to call the retailer.
