Grilling May Be Dangerous to Your Health

Talk about dangerous products, a gas grill of all things, one of the staples of an American summer backyard dinner.

While they might look fairly harmless, all hunched over on the back
porch waiting for the steak or corn on the cob, if the gas flame and
tank are not handled properly, these gas grills are an accident looking
for a place to happen.

Just taking a look at the media coverage for the last year is enough
to give one pause for thought about using a gas grill without a pilot's
license. No, seriously, these grills have their pros and their cons,
but it's the cons that may result in an explosion or fire. Handle with
care or be prepared to have the unexpected happen.

What may happen, and has happened, is something called external
ignition, when due to a manufacturing flaw the gas tank ignites
outside. This, while a rare occurrence, happens often enough that
consumers need to be aware of the dangers of gas grills. "They also
need to be alerted to the fact that there have been many cases of home
accidents and explosions due to manufacturing flaws in the gas grill
propane tanks," said Georgia super lawyer Stephen M. Ozcomert of
Atlanta.

If in doubt about your gas grill, look up the number of gas grill
recalls on the Internet;that will be a major eye opener. For instance:
1,170 Jenn-Air Downdraft Gas Cooktops (Maytag) were recalled because
the switches were too close to the gas tubing leading to the grill
burner. This was a fire hazard. There are many more examples such as
this, which is dismaying to say the least.

"The real question is how these defective products made their way to
the market in the first place?" added Ozcomert. If someone has been
injured due to a gas grill explosion or fire, contact a defective
product attorney, such as Georgia super lawyer Stephen M. Ozcomert of
Atlanta, who will assess the case and ensure justice is done.
