CPSC, QVC, Inc., Announce Recall of Red Devil Gas Grills
CPSC recall 02541. 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. When the grill is lit at the air intake tube, it will appear to function normally, though gas inside the air intake tube will ignite. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In earlier, but similar products sold by a different firm, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube has damaged the plastic support piece, and caused the grill to fall to the ground. Flames from the lit grill can burn nearby…
Remedy, in the words of CPSC
Consumers who purchased one of these grills from QVC should stop using them immediately and call QVC Customer Service. Consumers who purchased the product after August 1998 will receive, upon notifying QVC, revised operating instructions and a warning label to be put on the locking mechanism next to the air hole, warning users not to light the grill at the air hole opening in the venturi tube.
