CPSC, BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. Announce Recall of Red Devil Gas Grills
⚠ 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 grills manufactured before August 1998, 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.
Remedy: CPSC urges consumers to stop using these grills immediately. Consumers who purchased Red Devil gas grills from BJ's Wholesale Club Stores can return them to the local BJ's Wholesale Club for a refund.
Sold at: BJ's Wholesale Club Stores sold these grills, from about May 2000 through June 2002, for $70.
Manufacturer: e4L Inc., of Encino, Calif.; Quantum North America Inc., of Encino, Calif.; Cadac, of Roodepoort, South Africa
