My family was using an enviro-log fire log in the fire pit on our patio. The firelog exploded, sending red hot embers and debris up to an 8 foot radius from the fire pit. Some of the concrete in our fire pit also broke off and shot pieces/debris out of the fire pit. Multiple burning embers landed on our patio furniture and melted the fabric/burned holes. One hole was from a large ember and it is deep enough and wide enough to fit a baseball inside the hole. One adult sustained a very small burn on his back from one of the embers. Some embers landed in the grass but the ground was wet so luckily they did not start a fire.

Text of submitter's message dated July 24, 2014: On 4\4\13 I purchased a purchased a set of gas free logs from Lowe's Home Centers. They seem to be working fine. This set has a hoarse shoe set base. Example when turning the unit on the process of the flames ignitions first and tallest flame lights in back 2nd a smaller flame lights in the middle 3rd and smallest flame lights in the front. We had trouble with the progression. I contacted the manufacture Procom 2800 Griffin Dr. Bowling Green KT 42101 Phone number 877 866 5989. I was told by a technician that my propane company had said the outside propane tank too low. I contacted Americas 1573 Til co Dr Suite 2 Frederick MD 21704 ............ [REDACTED] They had a tech come out and ste the pressure at 13 (which is not the pressure that come into the unit). Still the logs would not work properly. I called and spoke with several techs with procpom. [REDACTED] and many others and the responses to my concern blase. Now it is November I am working at home (the logs were on) when I started feeling strange. I went up stairs and the smell of GAS WAS VERY STRONG. I did not touch any electrical devices. I went across the street from my home and called 911 for the fire dept. I also called my propane company Amerigas. They both arrived promptly. The fired dept refused my entry into my home to high levels of propane gas. They open and every window and door and brought in industrial fans to blow out the fumes. Both the fire dept and Amerigas agreed that this was brought on by the gas logs and it could have ended tragically. The next several days I called procom and left many messages in regards to this matter. No one returned my call. Phoning again I actually was able to speak to a human [REDACTED]. I explained the entire story he was very sympathetic and said he would get this off to the "legal dept". Then phone calls were never returned. If I happened get a voice mail the call was never returned. I called again and got [REDA

I bought a bug blocker on Amazon ASIN B0CXWNXRVK sold by [REDACTED]. It was manufactured in China. When it came it was saturated with an oily substance that smelled like sewage. There was no instructions and no indication of what chemical or pesticide it was saturated with. It caused irritation to the skin on my hands.

I received a Weber Rapidfire chimney starter as a birthday gift and I was putting it away when I lacerated my finger on the razor sharp edge of the heat shield. The edge of the metal has an edge that was not dulled after it was machined, cut, or punched and it is, obviously, exposed. It took about half an hour to get the bleeding to slow down enough to bandage it. I was a volunteer emergency medical technician and I know how to stop bleeding.

I own Lennox direct vent elite series gas log edv4540cpm-b since March 2005. Ever since we have owned this gas log, as soon as we have a quick power outage, the log comes on. After this happens I unplug the fireplace and start the log with the control panel until I get a certified rep to fix an issue. We had it looked at again earlier this year. Obviously the problem has not been solved, so I have unplugged the fireplace.
