Fire and Burn Hazards Prompt Recall of Gas Grills

Washington, DC: The Consumer Product Safety Commission in conjunction with L G Sourcing Inc, is recalling about 663,000 Perfect Flame SLG Series Gas Grills in the United States and about 1,700 in Canada because the burners can deteriorate causing irregular flames and the lids of some models can catch fire, posing fire and burn hazards to the consumer.

So far, there have been about 40 reports of fires from the burners deteriorating and about 23 reports of the lids catching fire. The firm is aware of one report of an eye injury requiring surgery and 21 incidents of minor burns to the hands, arms or face.

The recalled grills are SLG series "Perfect Flame" brand outdoor propane or natural gas grills. The grills are stainless steel and painted black or gray metal. The model numbers affected by this recall are listed below. The model number can be found in the compartment under the cooking chamber. No other Perfect Flame model numbers are included in this recall. For a complete list of the model numbers see the link below.
