SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200623-E9460-2147371537. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Product: DynoGlow DGP483CRP (DynoGlow DGP483CRP). Incident: On June 7, 2020 my LP grill caught on fire due to gas leaking on the factory assembled gas line assembly. The leak was at a joint *between* the regulator and the screw on connector. Again, this is a factory assembled assembly. While the rest of the grill is consumer assembled, I had conducted a leak test on the initial use with no problems found. The grill was purchased 2/29/20 and assembled on 3/1/20. Between that date and final use on 6/7/20, the grill was used maybe 10 or 12 times. It was garage kept and cleaned including the grease tray when not in use. The grill was a DynoGlo model DGP483CRP serial number 194BFA1189. I have contacted the parent company of DynoGlo with no response yet. Contact was made on 6/21/20 via their online web form. I put the fire out with a fire extinguisher kept in my garage. Unfortunately after putting out the fire, leaking gas could clearly be heard and smelt. While attempting to shut off the propane tank, I burned my right thumb and two fingers as the tank was still very hot. I finally shut off the gas by using an oven mitt. While I was able to return the grill to the store I purchased it at, I have pictures of everything.
