Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20230528-42944-2147347320. Severity: Injury, Seen by Medical Professional. Matched catalog product: DeLonghi EW7707CM-6A. Source model text: EW7707CM 1500 watt. Incident: The oil filled DeLonghi space heater fell over on my leg and caused a serious wound that will take months heal. The design of this heater is particularly dangerous to families with young children, pets and the elderly. The base is completely inadequate to support the weight and height of the heater. Further, its radiator design features very sharp edges, which put a 4 inch gash in my leg through a pair of blue jeans! Imagine if I were wearing shorts, or it fell on a sleeping pet or child! This is a very dangerous product that requires a redesign of its base, which does not support its weight and height.
