Warning on at-home camping style cooking accidents

A Japanese government-backed body evaluating product safety is warning of accidents caused by camping gear. The warning comes at a time when an increasing number of people enjoy camping style cooking at home to avoid infections from the coronavirus.

The National Institute of Technology and Evaluation, or NITE, says 183 fire and other accidents have been caused by camping equipment during the five years through March this year. The accidents left seven people dead.
