With an armload of clothes, Aspon attempted to exit the utility room. She was looking at the light switch rather than where she was walking. As she passed in front of the furnace, she stubbed her toe on the oil burner box, lost her balance, and landed against the furnace pipe. As a result, she suffered serious burns to her left arm and breast with permanent scarring. The burner box was clearly visible at the time of the accident, and Aspon had tripped over the burner box several times previously. However, neither Aspon nor Howard was aware that the pipe presented any danger.
