Whilst in Calais waiting for the ferry I was cooking quite happily when the glass cover on the hob exploded in my face showering glass all over the van and throwing some shards at least ten feet into the cab. Fortunately I wasn't injured (only a few little cuts)and my 4 year old also got a narrow escape.
The hob is a Spinflo one made by Thetford. So I contacted them and they told me that the glass had shattered according to European safety norms!!! It did shatter into small pieces, which is a safety feature and does this if there is a small fracture or similar in the glass. I accept that, but the fact that it threw glass with some force in my face is, in my opinion, a major safety issue that Thetford are not facing up to.
Any thoughts appreciated
Thanks
