Plain-English summary
Flat Rock Grill Co. is recalling approximately 1,800 units of the Shoreline Series Models 2000 and 3000 gas grills. The recall is due to a defect in the glass casing of the thermometer displays attached to the grill hoods, which can break or shatter. This defect poses a risk of cuts or other serious injuries to consumers.
The affected grills are heavy-duty, stainless steel models sold from July 1999 through July 2002 for about $1,200. They were sold by independent retailers in the southeastern and south central U.S. and through the firm's website. The model number is written on a label on the front of the grill, and "FRG" is on the front. The thermometer display measures 3 inches in diameter and has a temperature range from 50 to 550 degrees. The glass casing contains the text "BBQ-1" or "BBQ Pit" Thermometer. Thermometers with the word "Trend" written within the casing are not included in the recall.
Flat Rock Grill Co. had received six reports of the glass casing breaking, but no injuries have been reported. Because the firm is no longer in business, a standard recall remedy is not available. Consumers should remove the thermometers from these grills immediately. The company advises consumers to discard the product and not donate or resell it. For more information, consumers can call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 301-595-7054).
