CPSC, Wal-Mart Announce Recall of Red Devil Gas Grills Sold at Wal-Mart

CPSC recall 02206. Recall date: . Last publish date of the CPSC notice: .

Hazard, in the words of CPSC

The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. Though the grill appears to function normally, gas inside the air intake tube ignites. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In some earlier grills, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube damaged the plastic support piece and caused the grill to fall to the ground. When it collapses, flames from the grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles.

Remedy, in the words of CPSC

CPSC urges consumers to stop using these grills immediately. Consumers who purchased Red Devil gas grills from Wal-Mart can return them to the store for a refund. Consumers who purchased their Red Devil Gas Grills from a retailer other than Wal-Mart should contact the retailer. If that retailer does not provide a refund, repair or replacement for the grill, consumers should contact CPSC. Additionally, consumers who are aware of any incidents with these grills or who want additional information also should contact CPSC.
