Red Devil Gas Grills
Publicado el 24 de mayo de 2002
Resumen
CPSC registra el retiro 02159, publicado el 24 de mayo de 2002. Empresa responsable: Quantum North America Inc., of Encino, Calif.; Unidades reportadas: About 155,000.
Qué peligro representa
The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. Though the grill appears to function normally, gas inside the air intake tube ignites. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In some earlier grills, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube damaged the plastic support piece, and caused the grill to fall to the ground. When it collapses, flames from the grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles.
Qué hacer
Both the Home Shopping Network (HSN) and QVC voluntarily notified their customers directly about the hazard these grills pose, and provided a remedy. Grills purchased from retailers other than the HSN and QVC are dangerous, and CPSC urges consumers to stop using them immediately. Since Quantum and e4l have declared bankruptcy, there is no remedy available. Vendors who are still selling these grills also are encouraged to stop doing so and contact CPSC. About 19,300 of these grills, sold directly by e4L, were recalled in July 1998 because the burners could disconnect from the burner pan. Even if consumers participated in this previous recall program, they should stop using these grills since this warning addresses a different hazard.
