CPSC campaign 02523
Hazard
The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. When the grill is lit at the air intake tube, it will appear to function normally, though gas inside the air intake tube will ignite. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and melt the grill's plastic support piece. Grills manufactured before August 1998 that are lit at the air intake tube may collapse during use. When the grill collapses, flames from the lit grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles.
Remedy
Consumers who purchased Red Devil Gas Grills from HSN prior to December 31, 1998 should return the grill, for a full refund, to HSN Quality Assurance, 1 HSN Drive, St. Petersburg, FL 33729, Attn: "Red Devil Grill Recall". Consumers who purchased Red Devil Gas Grills from HSN after January 1, 1999 will receive revised operating instructions and warning labels to be put on the locking mechanism next to the air hole, warning users not to light the grill at the air hole opening in the air intake tube.
