Char-Broil Recalls Vertical Gas Smokers Due to Injury Hazard

Date: August 24, 2010
Company: Ningbo Spring Communications of China
Status: Ongoing
Source: CPSC

What You Should Do

Stop using this product immediately. Do not consume, use, or distribute it.

Consumers should stop using the recalled smokers and contact Char-Broil for a free replacement hose/valve/regulator assembly and installation instructions.

Affected Products

This recall involves the Char-Broil vertical gas smokers with model number 07701413. The model number is printed on a metal tag located on the right rear leg of the smoker. The smoker measures 21.5" x 19.5" x 45.5" and weighs 75 pounds. A "G" inside a triangle is printed on the regulator (see photo).

Why Was This Recalled?

When the temperature setting is in "low," the smoker's hose/valve/regulator (HVR) assembly does not allow sufficient gas to flow, causing the flame to extinguish. Gas continues to flow and build up inside the smoker. If the smoker is reignited the build-up of propane gas can cause an explosion that bursts the smoker's door open, posing an injury hazard.

Where Was This Sold?

Distribution information not available.
