Portable Stove Injures Woman on Fourth of July

I can definitely help with a failure analysis on this product to determine what went wrong. Gas cartridge stoves can be very dangerous. Essentially, a liquefied gas (propane or butane) is kept under pressure and is used to fuel the stove. Usually, this liquid instantly turns to a gaseous state when it is sent to the burner for the stove. By analyzing the specific design of the model in question, I can analyze what went wrong with its use. For gas cartridge stoves, there are models where the burner sits on top of the tank containing the fuel, and there are other stoves where the gas sits separate from the actual burner. In both cases, the valve system, along with the way that the burner is ignited, is critical to ensure that the device functions properly. If the actual stove and gas container exploded, and the woman is experienced in using the type of stove, there may have been an error with the valve, or the connecting tubing, causing an ignition of the pressurized, liquid material. With failure analysis, the device which exploded, and the subsequent parts, should be analyzed, specifically in the conditions that it was used. This will likely reveal any deformities, which, in many cases, is the cause of an explosion.
