Consumer Description

I PARKED MY CAR AFTER ARRIVING AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE, WHICH WAS APPROX. A TWO HOUR DRIVE. AFTER REACHING INSIDE OF THE HATCHBACK TO GRAB LUGGAGE OUT OF MY 2007 MINI COOPER 'S' I WAS BURNED ON MY LEG BY THE TAILPIPE. AFTER STEPPING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE MY LEG WAS RED IN TWO SPOTS (TWIN-PIPE) AND THEN BUBBLED IN THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AND SCABBED. I NOTICED THAT THE TAIL PIPE EXTENDS BEYOND THE BODY OF THE CAR WHICH ALLOWS FOR EASY SKIN CONTACT WITH THE HOT PIPE. UPDATED 04-15-08 *BF UPDATED
