CPSC, HSN Announce Recall of Red Devil Gas Grills
What was recalled
These red metal gas grills have a tripod stand. They have a logo on the label of the lid and grill base, showing a devil cooking at a grill with the writing, "Red Devil." The lid also reads "The Portable Outdoor Kitchen." Components sold with the grill include a heat plate, an oversized skillet with handles, a table-safe serving trivet, and carrying totes.
Hazard
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 melt the grill's plastic support piece. Grills manufactured before August 1998 that are lit at the air intake tube may collapse during use. When the grill collapses, flames from the lit grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles.
Injuries
The grill manufacturers have received 44 reports of consumers suffering burns to legs, hands and fingers, including reports of some third degree burns. There have been no incidents reported by HSN customers.
Made in
China, Hong Kong
Where it was sold
- HSN sold the grills, from September 1998 to May 2001, for up to $145.95.
