SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260729-FE4FC-2147313208. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Product: Pit Boss PBV5P1 (On July 5, 2026 at 7:15 AM, my Pit Boss pellet grill (purchased Dec 10, 2024) suffered a catastrophic electrical failure and auger fire, resulting in active flames and collateral property damage. I reported this severe safety hazard to the manufacturer, Dansons (Incident Report [REDACTED]). While Dansons initially offered a replacement unit verbally, their customer service department systematically refuses to process or confirm the settlement in writing. They have explicitly lied about their email capabilities to avoid creating a paper trail for this electrical fire. I followed up via a legally recorded phone call on July 22, 2026, and was told to wait for manager Damion to review the case. It has now been a full week, and Dansons has ceased all communication.

Dansons is actively attempting to sweep an unresolved fire hazard off the books by ignoring the property damage and refusing written documentation to avoid legal discovery.).
