Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160218-23D55-2147421626. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Product: Char Broil Commercial Series Infrared Model number 463241414 (Commercial Stainless Steel 4 Burner (36,000-BTU) Liquid Propane Infrared Gas Grill with Side Burner.). Incident: Purchased a barbecue grill from Lowe's on 12/24/2014. On February 15, 2016 my wife opened the lid on the barbecue grill which shifted the weight to the rear. As soon as this happened the back wheels collapsed inward towards the front of the barbecue grill. The barbecue rolled backwards and off of our patio onto the stone deck below. My wife was injured trying to grab the handle and save the grill from going over. Worse- the propane tank was inside and likely could have been ruptured. The grill was mangled completely. My wife has pain in her shoulder which we are trying to see a doctor for this week. Had a person been in the path of this extremely heavy barbecue grill there could have been a life threatening incident. Had the grill been lit at that point there could have been a fire. This is extremely worrisome. The grill was purchased from Lowe's and was delivered completely assembled by the store.
