Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20230428-04896-2147347807. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Matched catalog product: Coleman Coleman Dual-Fuel Model 424. Source model text: Coleman Model 9949A folding grill on wheels LP. Incident: I lighted a Coleman gas grill, model 9949A, and when the grill surface (cast iron with a ceramic coating) got hot, the glass/ceramic coating on the grates started flying off the grate up into my face and hit me in the eye! I heard a popping sound as bits of the glass/ceramic glazing continued to literally explode off the surface and fly straight up into the air. My eye was burned so bad that I'm afraid to use those ceramic-covered cast iron grates and I'm hoping Coleman has a plain steel grill replacement for this Model 9949A that's SAFE to use. This grill was very expensive and I was surprised when it injured eye. That glass coating is DANGEROUS, and should be recalled before someone loses their eyesight!
