QVC and Tristar Recall Electric Grills Due to Fire Hazard; Consumers to Receive New Instructions

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: QVC and Tristar Recall Electric Grills Due to Fire Hazard; Consumers to Receive New Instructions

The hazard

Cooking oils or sprays applied to the grill's cooking plates before preheating can cause the oil to ignite and/or flare up. Cooking sprays can ignite and/or flare up if used on the grill at any time.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using cooking oils on the grill prior to preheating. Cooking sprays should not be used on the grill at anytime. Consumers will receive a revised instruction manual with a cooking spray/oil use warning. QVC has sent warning notices to consumers to whom it sold the product directly. Tristar will do the same.
