Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200309-CA020-2147374440. Matched catalog product: Coleman Triton 2-Burner Propane Gas Camping Stove #5461. Source model text: Road Trip Grill 285. Incident: The shelves under the grill (Coleman Company Road Trip 285) were not extended and caught fire from the heat of the grill. Note in the photo how close the flames were to the propane hose. This could have caused a catastrophic explosion in the portable gas tank. Coleman is aware of this risk. There is no warning on the grill to extend the shelves prior to lighting. A neighbor warned me about the fire and the flames were extinguished although the grill was unusable following the fire. Fortunately, no one was injured.
