Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
If the fuel container is not completely threaded on the regulator during installation, the propane tanks can leak fuel. This poses a fire hazard to consumers.

Eastwind Industries has received three reports of fires from leaking propane tanks, resulting in reports of minor burns to the hands.
Official remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled barbecue grills and contact Eastwind for a new operator's manual with revised graphic installation instructions. Consumers will also receive a new tool to use for maintenance and cleaning of the fuel system.
