Plain-English summary

Barbeques Galore Inc. is recalling approximately 1,800 Turbo Sport Portable Infrared LP Gas Grills, model number IR600. The recall is due to faulty regulators that can release too much gas to the burner, causing an excessive burner flame. This defect also poses a risk of gas leaks, fires, and explosions if an ignition source is present.

The grills were sold at Barbeques Galore Inc. stores nationwide from August 2004 through August 2005 for between $170 and $200. The product is a portable grill constructed of stainless steel with an attached stainless steel hood, measuring 16.5 inches long by 14 inches wide and 12 inches high. The "Turbo Sport" nameplate is located on the front panel. No other barbecue with the "Turbo" name is affected by this recall.

There have been 18 reports of excessive flame or the regulator shutting off, but no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using these grills immediately. To obtain a remedy, consumers should return the regulator to a Barbeques Galore retail store for a replacement or contact Barbeques Galore Customer Service to have a replacement regulator sent to them. For additional information, consumers can call Barbeques Galore Inc. toll-free at (800) 752-3085 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
