The Wall Street Journal (11/7, Gara, 2.08M) "Corporate
Intelligence" blog reports that the Master Forge Gas Grill, made by
Chinese firm Guang Vanward Electric and sold at Lowe's stores across the US, is
being recalled, according to a statement from the US Consumer Product Safety
Commission. As the blog post describes, the grill is being recalled over
concerns that, if improperly installed, the grill could pose a fire and burn
hazard. The grill's hose connecting the gas tank and regulator to the burner
control can touch the burner box and cause the hose to melt and rupture when
the grill is lit if it is not installed properly.
The Jackson (MS) Clarion Ledger (11/7, Moak, 61K)
"Consumer Watch" blog notes that "the four-burner Master Forge
Gas Grills were sold for about $270.00 from May 2011 through May 2012."
The blog post adds, "The CPSC recommends that owners should check the
grill to make sure that the gas hose runs along the outside of the grill
cabinet and passes through the round hole in the side panel."
WTVQ-TV Lexington, KY (11/7) reports that the
recall "involves Master Forge four-burner gas grills with a single-door
base. 'Master Forge' is written on the grill's hood. The model number GD4825 is
located on a label inside the door of the grill's base."
