Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20201225-480AA-2147367243. Matched catalog product: Weber Q1200 part # 5101001. Source model text: q1200. Incident: I mistakenly started up my Weber Q1200 gas grill without opening up the plastic side tables. The side tables caught fire and melted into the grill. When I opened the lid big flames shot out. The only damage was the destruction of the grill. However it was a big fire, and, since I live in the dry hills of Oakland California it could have started a major blaze during fire season. Although the manual contains many warnings, there is no warning about this flaw.
