A woman needed hospital treatment in 2008 after being shot in the leg by her own stove. Cory Davis, 56, of Sekiu, Washington State, had just stoked her cast iron stove when something inside it exploded, hitting her on the inside of her left calf. At first she thought it was a piece of flying coal but then realised it was part of a .22-gauge shotgun shell that had been accidentally placed in the stove along with some newspaper. She said a case of ammunition had spilled out in her home the previous month and one shell must have landed inside the newspaper she used to light the stove. "It was just bad luck" she mused. "How many people get shot by your stove?"
