If you like your buddy heater better speak up

They are considering banning some heaters the consultation runs till may 19th.

I don't use a heater but I'll see what there saying and what the are asking. I find they give me a headache sometimes if I'm with others using them.

I did hear about a guy in orillia on valentines day I think had one blow up in his face emergency service had to go get him off the lake.

The article seems to be about electric heaters only - I don't know why they have a picture with a Buddy heater.

Dude got burned when a can of beans exploded into his face. It was a closed can of beans with no air holes punched in it.

I'm usually very wary of the pictures they provide and I assumed they were part of it.

My wife showed me an article of yrp putting out an ice warning and they used a photo from 2019 lol.

After the amount of testing that happens with any type of heater, electric, gas, wood etc, I'm sure the Safety Council would eliminate those that weren't reasonably safe when following explicit directions for their use. That said how many don't read the instructions, like don't use a generator or BBQ or any fuel burning device in enclosed areas, yet people ignore those instructions to their own demise. Sorry but Darwin is out there recruiting and it never ends.

Guy at work did the same thing with a welding rod oven, was lucky it was chunky soup with quick open top so it shot like a cannon at the ceiling in the trailer instead of at his face.
