Sadly no matter how many warning etc are issued there will always be the "won't happen to me" factor.
I don't think the warnings are visible enough, or strong enough. They usually comprise: 'Use in well-ventilated area'. Many gas heaters specifically target campers, so it's surely another accident waiting to happen.
Here is the product description for the Blackcat, on Amazon:
'Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Coleman Blackcat Propane Heater is the perfect companion in lower temperatures thanks to the use of propane, it integrates the PerfectTemp™ catalytic process for a flameless, more stable heat. Whether at the campsite or on a riverbank, the Blackcat is ideal when directional heat is required.

and here is the Campingaz Bluecat (also on Amazon):

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Performer!!, 19 Sep 2009

P. Harris "Pop" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Campingaz BlueCat Heater (Sports)
Was a little sceptical at first as to whether this item would provide much warmth but after using it in my Outwell Hartford XL tent on a couple of cold nights i was very impressed!
The living space inside the tent is vast yet this flameless catalytic heater warmed it up a treat! Well worth the money!! '
See any warnings that this product can be lethal? Nope! People buy the things, unaware, don't always read the small print - if indeed there is any specific small print - then use them in poorly ventilated tents etc. They are marketed for camping, what else are the majority of purchasers going to think?
