April 12, 2010, in Madison County, Illinois, [redacted], age 56, died and his son, [redacted], age 24, was injured while sleeping in a camper from carbon monoxide from a Coleman PowerMate 5045 propane heater.

I purchased a Coleman Perfect Flo Instastart camping stove (model # 2000006510) and used it for the first time while camping over the Labor Day weekend, Sept 2012. The instructions that come with the stove indicate that the ignition button may need to be pressed several times before the burner will light. The problem is that propane is flowing while the button is being pressed repeatedly. By the time the burner lights, there is a lot of propane in the air and there is a big burst of flame that could easily burn the person trying to light the burner or someone standing nearby.

I bought a Fitzwilliam 41,000 BTU Propane Standing Patio Heater through wayfair. https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/latitude-run-fitzwilliam-41000-btu-propane-standing-patio-heater-w006602309.html?&experiencetype=2&selectedvertical=2 After just 2 months of minimal use and moving it on my deck, the wheels begin to bend and it became uneven. I reached out for replacement wheels and they were sent. I then tried to replace the wheels and realized that where the wheels attached to the body of the product is extremely unstable and erodes easily. I reached out again to the manufacturer and they said they can't help us because it's been over 3 months. I believe a product that costs $300 and deals with fire and proprane should last longer than 3 months. I moved it on 8/17/2022 and one of the wheels just snapped right off. I was lucky that I caught the product instead of having it come crashing down with the glass encase.

Caller stated that the warning label on the portable propane heater is insufficient. He stated that the appropriate details are not on the unit and the warnings are not in the appropriate location. Caller stated that due the missing information he operated the propane heater without opening a window which caused CO poisoning. Caller stated that there were no model or serial numbers listed. Caller feels that this heater poses a safety hazard and should be recalled.
