Plain-English summary

Grand Hall Enterprise Co. Ltd. is recalling approximately 162,000 Bakers & Chefs®, Members Mark®, and Kenmore gas barbecue grills. The recall involves specific models: Bakers & Chefs® Y0655 and Y0656, Members Mark® Y0660, and Kenmore 15221 and 15223. These grills were sold at SAM'S CLUB® and Sears stores nationwide from April 2001 through December 2002.

The hazard exists because if moisture enters the temperature gauge, the glass cover can break, posing a risk of injury to people nearby. Grand Hall has received eight reports of temperature gauges breaking, two of which resulted in minor injuries.

Consumers should stop using the grills until they install a free repair kit or replacement temperature gauge provided by the company. The repair kit includes a "Glass-Gard" protective film that prevents the glass from exploding. Owners can contact Grand Hall at (888) 735-5709 or visit www.grandhall.com for assistance.
