Plain-English summary

Uni-O (Xiamen) Industries Corporation is recalling approximately 4,530 Iroda O-Grill models 1000 and 3000 portable gas grills. The recall involves grills produced before 2010, some of which were sold under the Tailgate Gear brand. These lightweight, clamshell-type propane grills have steel bodies and cast iron cooking surfaces. Recalled units are identified by the lack of ventilation slots in the regulator cover where the propane bottle screws in; grills with these slots are not subject to the recall.

The recall is due to a defect where the regulator on the grill can leak gas, which can ignite and pose a fire and burn hazard to consumers. Uni-O has received 10 reports of grills catching fire, but no injuries or property damage have been reported.

The grills were sold nationwide at LL Bean, Stoneman, BBQG, Walgreens, REI, Dillards, and Dick's Sporting Goods from November 2008 through December 2010. The O-Grill 1000 sold for $149 and the O-Grill 3000 sold for $189. Consumers should immediately stop using the grills and contact Uni-O to receive a free replacement grill.
