Fiesta Blue Ember gas grill
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada yesterday announced the recall of about 113,000 Fiesta Gas Grills’ Blue Ember gas grills. The hose on the gas tank can get to close to the grill’s firebox, which poses a fire hazard.
In the U.S., the recall involves models FG50045, FG50057, and FG50069; in Canada, models C1072-30744 and C1072-30754 are part of the recall. Read the recall notice on the CPSC site for the specific serial numbers being recalled.
If you own an affected grill, stop using it immediately and contact Fiesta to obtain a free replacement grease-pan assembly and instructions for installing the pan and the gas tank. For more information, call 866-740-7849 (8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday) or send an e-mail to mnorman@fiestagasgrills.com.
