WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- Safety officials are recalling about 4,530 O-Grill Portable Gas Grills due to fire and burn hazards.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the regulator on the grill can leak gas which can ignite, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers.
So far, the manufacturer, Uni-O (Xiamen) Industries Corporation of Xiamen, China, has received 10 reports of grills catching fire, but no injuries or property damages have been reported.
The recall involves Iroda O-Grill models 1000 and 3000. The CPSC says some grills were also sold under the Tailgating Gear brand. The grills come in orange, red, green, blue, silver and black and have the words "O-Grill" on the metal grill cover. The grills with ventilation slots in the regulator cover are not subject to the recall.
The O-Grill Portable Gas Grills were sold by LL Bean, BBQG, Walgreens, REI, Dillards and Dick's Sporting Goods nationwide from November 2008 through December 2010. The O-Grill 1000 sold for $149 and the O-Grill 3000 sold for $189.
If you have one of the recalled grills, you should immediately stop using the grills and contact Uni-O to receive a free replacement grill.
