As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: Century Brand Model 2315 1-burner tank top propane construction heater

    When I first started this heater and after several minutes on high a flame started coming out of the control knob and started the plastic knob on fire. I was able to turn the tank off but the control knob continued to burn until it was completely destroyed.
