CPSC recall 05262 · announced September 8, 2005 · Nexgrill Industries · 86,000 units affected
The product
The recalled Charmglow® Gas Grills have a model number of 720-0036-HD-05, which can be found on the back of the grill. The stainless steel grill is designed to be used with propane gas. The name of the grill is located at the left corner of the exterior of the main burner lid. A temperature gauge is located at the center of the main burner lid.

The hose connecting the propane tank with the manifold can run up too close to the firebox. The heat from the firebox can damage the hose, causing it to leak gas. The release of gas creates a fire risk that could cause injury and property damage.

Consumers should stop using the gas grill and contact Nexgrill Customer Service to receive a free, self-installation repair kit.
