Product Safety Tips: Turkey Fryers
URL: http://www.ul.com/global/eng/pages/offerings/perspectives/consumer/productsafety/turkeys/

Description:
The Underwriters Laboratory uses this site to explain why it has not certified any deep-fat turkey fryers. A dramatic video demonstrates how easily fires are started by this equipment, and also shows how easily these units can be tipped over. Includes a list of other hazards associated with these fryers, and tips for "safer use" for those backyard cooks who "absolutely must use a turkey fryer."
