SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120417-998C2-2147468357. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Weber Genesis. Source model text: weber genesis 330. Incident: I purchased a Genesis 330 by Weber. I had the same problem as another incident previously posted by another consumer. The knobs on this grill are so light to turn on that when you put the cover on, they turn on by the weight of the cover. This caused the leaking of gas. When I called the companyIi was given a detailed explanation on how to correctly put on a WEBER cover to avoid this problem. I was told I had to hold out the cover so the cover did not touch is sensitve knobs. To me these knobs are a danger waiting to happen. I was not told by Weber that this had been reported previously by a consumer. When I called to ask about this I was told that they knew nothing about the other complaint. I find it hard to believe that a consumer would write a report to you before calling Weber as I did at least 10 times. So, I am wondering if this is a problem that does not comply to safety standards or whether this could create a hazard that the compnay should tell consumers about. I think this should be investigated.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20221218-9E38F-2147351983. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Weber Genesis. Source model text: Genesis II-E 335 NG. Incident: My family was preparing to use our Weber Genesis II BBQ grill on our back deck, and turned the heat on high to preheat the grill. We left the lid closed. Went inside to prepare the meat, and a few minutes later the entire grill was on fire. We reported this to Weber, and they told us that the grill "must" not have been cleaned. In fact, we had cleaned the grill recently. I'm a 43 year-old and I've been grilling for 20+ years. I know how to clean a grill as I've owned quite a few in my life. I've NEVER had such a scary incident happen. I believe that Weber has created a product that is unreasonably difficult to keep clean and/or easily catches on fire even when mostly clean.
