Jones, an experienced camper, and Lam, Jones' nephew, went on a camping trip to hunt on property located in Canton, Missouri on October 9, 1999. After pitching a brand new tent, they went hunting. They returned to the campsite for dinner. Plaintiffs then went to sleep in the tent with both "windows" of the tent open. Around 11:00 p.m., they woke up cold. Plaintiffs lit a propane-fueled lantern ("Lantern") to warm the tent, but kept the "windows" to the tent open. The two men went back to sleep. The next morning, Jones woke up and tried to wake Lam. When Lam failed to respond, Jones discovered that Lam had died of what was later determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning. Jones suffered significant injuries. He was taken to the hospital where he received treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning. The source of the carbon monoxide was the propane-fueled lantern.
