The product, in the report: Little Buddy propane heater, manufactured by Mr. Heater, Inc., [REDACTED]
I bought a Little Buddy Heater (manufactured by Mr. Heater, Inc., [REDACTED]) to use in my otherwise unheated shop. I also purchased and installed a carbon monoxide detector. About 20 to 30 minutes after I lit the burner (for the first time), the carbon monoxide detector was triggered. I immediately opened the shop door and shut down the heater. I was not harmed and there was no damage. The heater package clearly says the heater is “Indoor safe”. Apparently, it is not. I can’t find a model number, but the package shows a Stock Number of F215100. [REDACTED], [REDACTED]. Phone: [REDACTED]. E-mail: [REDACTED].
