Plain-English summary

Sagittarius Sporting Goods is recalling approximately 10,000 Master Forge five-burner, stainless steel gas grills. The recall involves grills with the model number L3218, which is located on a label inside the left front door. The name "Master Forge" is printed on the grill hood.

The flexible rubber hose on the LP gas tank can come into contact with the burner box. When the grill is lit, this contact can cause the hose to melt and rupture, creating a fire and burn hazard. The company is aware of two complaints regarding the hose melting and rupturing, but no injuries or property damage have been reported.

These grills were sold at Lowe's stores nationwide from September 2009 through November 2009 for about $500. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled grills and contact Sagittarius at (800) 444-6742 to obtain a free repair kit.
