Recalled Beefmaster Explorer Outdoor Gas Grill (closed)

Description

This recall involves the Beefmaster Explorer Outdoor Gas Grill Model Number 720-0001. The tabletop grill is made of stainless steel and is used with a disposable propane cylinder, which is purchased separately. Each grill has one main burner and a cooking grid that sits over the burner. Model numbers are located on the back panel of the grill. The brand name "Nexgrill" is on a plate on the grill lid.

Hazards

As consumers adjust the gas pressure regulator (on/off gauge) leading to the propane cylinder, the label on the valve can become positioned in such a manner that it is difficult to read. This can cause consumers to inadvertently leave the gas valve on, posing a fire hazard.

Reported injuries

Nexgrill has received two reports of consumers leaving the gas valve on. No injuries or property damage has been reported.

Remedy

Consumers should contact Nexgrill to obtain a free replacement gauge. Consumers can also return the product to the company for installation of the replacement gauge at no charge. In addition, Crate & Barrel customers should contact Crate & Barrel to obtain a free replacement gauge or to make arrangements to return the product to the company for installation of the replacement gauge at no charge.
