05044 · Recalled 2004-11-10 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled grills have five burners and a label on the back of the cabinet, with the model number on the left side. Models CF9086 and VCS5000 are equipped with a side burner. Model CF9085 is not equipped with a side burner. Grills that do not have five burners and grills sold before 2004 are not affected by this recall. All of the affected grills were listed by Canadian Standards Association.

Reported injuries
CFM Corporation has received 38 reports involving gas leaks. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
