Consumer Description

I WENT OUT ONE MORNING AND STARTED MY TRUCK AND HEARD A RATTLE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I GOT OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD. ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY THE ENGINE BACKFIRED AND THE COOLING FAN BLEW APART AND FRAGMENTS OF METAL CAME THROUGH THE PLASTIC SHROUD AND INTO MY FACE AND HEAD CAUSING SERIOUS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL INJURY TO MYSELF. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE FAST RESPONSE OF THE PARAMEDICS WHO FLEW ME TO THE HOSPITAL BY CHOPPER. I AM NOW BLIND MISSING AN EYE AND MY FACE AND HEAD ARE SCARED ALONG WITH POSSIBLE BRAIN DAMAGE. PLEASE DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP THIS TRAGIC ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR
