Might be a fire hazard on lawn mowers. Those catalytic converters are
quite hot.

I seen a house burned to the ground because they were having a family
reunion and parked in the grass. One parked in the deep grass and
caught it on fire.

The first Cat's ran really hot, and started a lot of fires. They found out
that they worked just as well running a lot less temperature. The newer
ones run a lot cooler.
