Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20131008-802F5-2147451096. Matched catalog product: Weber Weber Genesis E330 6531001. Source model text: E330. Incident: 2013 Weber genesis gas grill knobs turn on too easily when putting cover on grill causing gas leak. There is little resistance to turn the knob like on other gas grills or stoves. I store my grill near an air intake vent for my furnace room, so when the gas is accidentally turned on, the gas leaks into my basement near the furnace creating a potentially dangerous situation.
