CPSC, Nexgrill Industries Announce Recall of Gas Grills to Replace Gas Pressure Regulator (On/Off Gauge)
Nexgrill Industries Inc., of Walnut, Calif.
Hazard
As consumers adjust the gas pressure regulator (on/off gauge) leading to the propane cylinder, the label on the valve can become positioned in such a manner that it is difficult to read. This can cause consumers to inadvertently leave the gas valve on, posing a fire hazard.
Remedy
Consumers should contact Nexgrill to obtain a free replacement gauge. Consumers can also return the product to the company for installation of the replacement gauge at no charge. In addition, Crate & Barrel customers should contact Crate & Barrel to obtain a free replacement gauge or to make arrangements to return the product to the company for installation of the replacement gauge at no charge.
Sold at
Academy, Bar-B-Que Galore, Crate and Barrel, Home Town and discount department stores nationwide. Crate and Barrel also sold the grills through their catalog and at www.crateandbarrel.com. The grills were sold from January 2002 through June 2003 for about $100.
Affected count

Injuries reported
Nexgrill has received two reports of consumers leaving the gas valve on. No injuries or property damage has been reported.
