Nexgrill Industries Gas Grills Recalled Due to Fire Hazard
06174 · Recalled 2006-06-01 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled product is the Nexgrill Model 720-0025 Gas Grill. The stainless steel grill is designed to be used with propane gas. The name of the grill is located at the left corner of the exterior of the main burner lid. The serial number is printed on the CSA sticker, which is located behind the door. A temperature gauge is located at the center of the main burner lid.
Hazards
The gas grill has a hose that connects the propane tank to the burner manifold. If this hose runs up too close to the firebox, the heat can cause the hose to detach from the burner manifold, causing a gas leak and a fire hazard.
Reported injuries
Nexgrill has received 31 incident reports, including 28 fires, three hoses melting, two cases of property damage, and four injuries.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the gas grill immediately and contact Nexgrill to receive a free, self-installation retrofit heat shield assembly.
