About 10,000 Gas Grills Sold at Lowe's Recalled Due to Fire and Burn Hazards
In cooperation with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Sagittarius Sporting Goods announced a recall of about 10,000 Master Forge Five-Burner Gas Grills sold at Lowe's stores nationwide from September 2009 through November 2009, for about $500.
The recall was announced because the flexible rubber hose on the LP gas tank can come into contact with burner box, causing the hose to melt and rupture when the grill is lit. This poses a potentially very serious fire and burn hazard to consumers. Sagittarius has already received several reports of the hose melting and rupturing. The grill, manufactured in China and imported by LG Sourcing Inc., of North Wilkesboro, N.C., have the name "Master Forge" on the grill hood, and the model number L3218 is located on a label inside the left front door of the grill.
The CPSC advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled grills and contact Sagittarius at (800) 444-6742 to obtain a free repair kit. More information can also be found on the CPSC web site.
