An combustion produces carbon monoxide. How can this be "safe"?
589204
As a former  EMT/Firefighter & Red Cross first aid instructor I question the premise that this can be used safely indoors. Any source of combustion produces carbon monoxide, which your blood has a higher affinity for than oxygen. Fortunately the small size of the tank may mean it will run out of fuel before you expire, but the only safe source of heat powered by combustion is externally vented radiant. If the combustion is taking place in your living space you're breathing CO.

DO NOT PURCHASE - WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF PLUGGING IN TO ELECTRICAL OUTLET, I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING THEN HAD SPARKS AND TONS OF SMOKE. I am no electrician - but after unplugging and placing in the middle of the driveway where nothing could ignite, I looked at the construction - and it appears the wire connectors they use are those heat up tubes - one problem is that the wires are NOT secured in the tubing (so the heating temperature did NOT mold the tubes to the wires AT ALL) - perhaps I am wrong about the material used to 'secure' the various connections down the light string, but whatever was used did NOT hold the thin silver wires in place...  and apparently, although low voltage I would assume, a fire (or in more serious situations, electrocution) results when the positive and negative wires touch (there is a third wire - but I have a hard time believing that is a ground wire - if it is, well, it was not secured either)...  anyway, skip my whole lack of knowledge of electrical circuits - JUST KNOW THIS IS A HAZARD.

Obviously quality control and safety of customers ins't a priority of this manufacturer. I plugged this in with the switch in the off position and it sparked and emitted smoke. If the company tested this before boxing up and shipping out, the spark would have happened before it got me. Someone ordered this for me off of my wish list but I will be returning. If multiple reviewers are reporting this, there is obviously a major design flaw.

I love cooking with gas.  This unit has worked well, but late one evening we heard this clicking noise coming from the kitchen and it took us a few minutes to realize the igniters had gone nuts and were firing without the burner being turn on.  We used the troubleshooter and did everything it said, but it still continues to fire.  We had to disconnect the current to the unit and have to light the burners with a match.  This ones going outta here!!

I thought this light was great until today.. I had been using it with no problem. Luckily I only turn it on if I am doing something right under it because today I smelled something burning. Turns out part of the bulb turned back and the plastic cover started to melt and smoke. I wouldn't recommend this product for your safety! I'm scared to think what would have happened if I left my room for a little bit with the light on!

It burns. I think that's its purpose. ;-)
It could smell a little bit less like Diesel fuel, but it's a crude oil based product, so I'm not blaming it for its heritage.

I had the very similar 08963 kit (purchased from Amazon).  The intake cleaner (possibly also the throttle plate cleaner) spontaneously sprayed out by itself while still in the box, and INSIDE MY HOUSE, causing a terrible odor and potential health hazard and fire/explosion hazard!  The kit hadn't been dropped or smashed or exposed to high temperatures while in my possession (and the box was in good shape so it didn't appear to have been abused by Amazon or the package carrier either).  Instead, it seems like the seal on the spray can itself failed and began spraying out the contents until I came home from work, discovered that the whole house reeked of lighter fluid, and eventually followed my nose to where this unused kit was stored.  I then disposed of it, and opened every door and window.

Luckily there wasn't a fire or explosion and so far nobody has fallen seriously ill, except my daughter got a headache and felt a little light headed and nauseous for a bit until we got her to some fresh air.

I'll probably still be smelling the stuff for days though.

Note: I'm NOT the only one who has had this problem.  Consider yourself warned.  Don't keep one of these kits inside the house.

Amazon should remove this product as unsafe.  In my case the isolator worked as designed for abut 3 months.  Then it melted and burned up.  It left soot all over the engine compartment and a stench of burnt plastic.  It burned the wires connected to it.  Since it took place just yesterday, my mechanic is still assessing any damage to the alternator and engine battery.  I should have read some of the other one star reviews before buying.  DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE; DO NOT BUY IT.

The concept is flawed.  A fireman told me that carbon Monoxide detectors should always be at ground level.  Never put these up high on the wall or ceiling (which is were most smoke detectors are installed).  It's better to buy a plug in.

Plugged it into my car this morning and it caught on fire. Smoke was pouring out of it. Be careful!

**WARNING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS**

I really do have to put a huge warning on the "Match Light" charcoal. It is very dangerous. As it says, it is match light. There is no need for lighter fluid. It does work great. And stay hot longer than the normal ccharcoal. You don't taste the fluid when the food is cooked because it burns off before it reaches the food. As all of us know that when we add fluid, we do put more on the coals when the food is grilling. That's when we taste it in the food. You don't need any at any time when using this. But now the dangerous part of this, is that it's very flammable. When you cook with charcoal, you have to add more coal every hour to have a steady temperature. I did this by pouring more on like you would normally. The coals inside the bag caught fire. They started to catch fire quite quickly. I had to fold the top of the bag to put the fire out. After that I had to replenish the fire. So I didn't pour it on again. I grabbed the coals with my hand; my hand caught fire. I didn't get burned because I always keep a hose within reach. I can't say enough to be careful. So if you do need to add more. Get a small bag of the "Match Light" and just place the bag on the fire or use a pot and place the coals into the pot and pour it on. Step back right away after that. Never let children handle this. Like I said, my hand caught fire. If you have the coal dust on your hands, there's a good chance your hand will catch fire. This is a great product and works great but just be careful.

Unsafe to use, flame doesn't have a safety cut-off. Literally thought it would burn my apartment down, so I've left it in a fire box until I can go to the BBB.

My girlfriend and myself were ddriving  home this afternoon when all of a sudden I noticed wisps of smoke rapidly coming from somewhere.  By the time I realized it was the cable, the entire cab of the car was almost filed with very grayish, blackish caustic smelling smoke. I unplugged it immediately, but it EASILY could have caused an accident.  It scared the life out of both of us!

Actually, I liked it pretty well for several nights until I got around to reading the warnings. They are on the box, in small print, and on an insert in the box.
It turned out I was sleeping on a dangerous device. It can catch fire, apparently rather easily since the warning says to keep it away from "naked lights". If it does burn it will "burn rapidly, releasing great heat and consuming oxygen at a high rate" which may "present danger of suffocation" and releasing "hazardous gases" that can be "incapacitating or fatal to human beings." If torn, the pillow may release its tiny beads which, "present a choking hazard". If some of the beads should be inhaled, the warning directs you to "seek medical attention". The pillow must always be used with its "Bonus Pillow Cover", should not be used by anyone under 14, should be kept away from infants, children, pets, heat and sharp objects. If damaged, the pillow must be discarded. I'm going to discard it now, before it gets me, or my grandson, or my dog.

Unless the CO detector is a low level detector, you and your family may be passed out on the floor before it alarms. All store bought detectors are made the same. They do not alarm until CO levels reach 70ppm around the detector. They are also delayed to go off from 60 to 240 minutes. So by the time it goes off, levels are actually much higher. Read the manufacture info that came with your detector. It says those exact number right in it as well as the symptoms off poisoning at each level. A low level CO detector displays and alarms at much lower levels. It could display as low as 5ppm and alarm as low as 10ppm. Much safer levels to let you know there is a problem. They are also not delayed to go off. They tske air samples every so many seconds not hours.
Keep in mind the prime, recommended location for all CO detectors is outside the master bedroom, at eye level or higher then the tallest person living in the home. If the master bedroom is on the first floor and there is a second floor, then you need a detector on each floor. Carbon Monoxide is lighter then air so it rises. So plug in CO detectors are very hazardous and will not protect you and your family.

Wow, pinch me is it really 2011 and we still have consumer electronics catching fire? Where is CE, UL, BS when you need them?

Fortuitously I was next to the amp when the wisps of smoke started, followed by a crackling fire. The amp as spec'ed is decent and worked fine - until it decided to self-combust. The real concern is that this is configured as an 'auto-on' device, so it switches itself on when it receives an audio signal on the line-in: this means it is often going to be put somewhere out of the way and unnoticed - and that makes it a REAL fire hazard (as in 'burning the house down' hazard).

So if i could give is a zero or negative star it would be duly awarded. Since now at least three reviews have indicated there is a real fire hazard, Amazon need to look carefully at what they are offering.

Tested the temperature. It definitely isn't safe to touch when left on. The inside coils get to about 300F though so it shouldn't be a big fire hazard if stored properly - so that's nice. Doesn't produce much heat though. It's also slightly bigger than I expected, but not unwieldy.
