Lawrence Herr, from Maple Ridge, BC, pitched the CHIPEZE Barbeque Grill Scraper, asking for $80,000 for 20%. The product is a multi-use BBQ grill scraper made from cedar, but Lawrence Herr revealed he is allergic to cedar and must wear a HAZMAT suit during production.
Manjit Minhas questioned investing in an entrepreneur allergic to his own product, and the other Dragons also declined due to the production issues; no deal was made.
