12077 · Recalled 2012-01-03 · CPSC page

Description

This recall involves Iroda O-Grill models 1000 and 3000 produced before 2010. Some were also sold under the Tailgate Gear brand. Both models are lightweight, portable, clamshell-type propane grills with steel bodies, cast iron cooking surfaces, retractable legs and a handle. They can be used with either 1-pound propane cylinders or 20-pound propane tanks. The grills come in orange, red, green, blue, silver and black and have the words "O-Grill" stamped on the metal grill cover. Recalled O-Grills do not have ventilation slots in the regulator cover where the propane bottle screws in. Grills with ventilation slots in the regulator cover are not subject to the recall.

Hazards

The regulator on the grill can leak gas which can ignite, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers.

Reported injuries

Uni-O has received 10 reports of grills catching fire. No injuries or property damage have been reported.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the grills and contact Uni-O to receive a free replacement grill.
