Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20110620-FEC96-1187879. Matched catalog product: Toro 38282. Incident: Consumer believes his Toro snow blower is unsafe and a fire hazard. While his snow blower is not recalled, it is having the same problems listed in recall release 11-207. The snow blower was fairly new and only used a few times this last winter. In the winter, the consumer started it a few times just to make sure it was running properly, even when he didn�t intend to use it, and then stored it in his garage. In March, he noticed that the garage smelled of gas, and saw approximately 4� wet spots under the snow blower where the engine compartment was. At this point, he drained the gas out of the snow blower.
