Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
The grills have faulty regulators that can release too much gas to the burner causing an excessive burner flame. This also poses a risk of gas leaks, fires and explosions if an ignition source is present.
Incidents and injuries
There have been 18 reports of excessive flame or the regulator shutting off. No injuries have been reported.
Official remedy
Consumers should stop using these grills and return the regulator to a Barbeques Galore retail store for a replacement, or contact Barbeques Galore Customer Service to have a replacement regulator sent to them.
