Plain-English summary

Char-Broil LLC is recalling approximately 600 two-burner gas grills, model number 463720407, due to a fire and burn hazard. The recalled grills may have an incorrect heat shield that does not fit properly. Without the correct heat shield, the propane tank, hose, and regulator could overheat and become damaged. If a propane leak occurs, these conditions present a risk of fire and burns to consumers.

The affected grills were sold exclusively at Big Lots stores nationwide from January 2007 through March 2007 for approximately $115 and $130. The grills feature a 360-square-inch cooking surface, a 170-square-inch swing-away rack, two side shelves, and a condiment basket. The Char-Broil logo is located on the top of the lid, and the serial number is found on the white rating label on the back of the upper front panel, ranging from G305040611002821 to G305040611003420.

Consumers should inspect their grill to determine if the heat shield is properly installed. If the heat shield is missing or cannot be installed according to the instructions, consumers should stop using the grill immediately and contact Char-Broil. The company will send the correct heat shield and installation instructions free of charge. For more information, consumers can contact Char-Broil toll-free at (866) 671-7988 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.charbroil.com.
